Hector Jay Bernal
August 27, 1971 - August 18, 2020
It's time to say "Until we meet again in heaven"
to my beloved husband Hector Bernal.
Hector was born in East LA on August 27th, 1971 to his
parents Hector Bernal and Jessica Robles. He went to heaven on
August 18th, 2020 in Upland, California . His second fight with
Leukemia had come to a sad end. He is survived by his wife Eva of 28 years,
three sons, Hector, Victor, Arthor, his parents, three sisters, and their
children.
My husband was the kind of man you saw on the sitcom Cheers,
he would have been the former baseball player Sam Malone. He loved to
cheer you on when entering a house or upon arrival to a family event. He had a
real interest in people and was very considerate of their pain. Always
kind and ready to serve, he loved to be funny all the time. While attending any
social gatherings he loved to find something that everyone could agree on and
make light of it.
He lived by his own advice when it came to doing or going
somewhere. Whenever it came to a difficult situation he would always say
"i will make the best of it" and would always do so. He always loved
a good party and it was an opportunity for him to try out his latest jokes
or funny thoughts. this became his trademark. I have asked plenty of people
what they will miss the most about my husband, they always reply that he
was funny and always made them laugh. I had to agree with them because this was
one of the reasons I fell in love with him. My life was so serious because I
took care of myself at a very young age. When we met in high school I thought
he would be a good friend because he was a good Catholic boy who still went to
catechism. I would take my bible to school and read to him.
Soon after we finished high school we got married and
started a family. He worked many years as a warehouse worker. I was a homemaker
waiting on our dreams to come true. Sadly the humer came to end and one of our
home buying dreams has gone with him. I will forever miss my honey. our sons
will miss their pops, more so when they meet their spouses and start their
families.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. If you are
able to give a sympathy gift in lieu of flowers it would be highly appreciated.
His wish was to be buried with our fourth son at Resurrection Cemetery. Our
GoFundMe page is up. Please know we can't do this without your support.
Thank you kindly,
Eva Bernal
