Kyle Anthony Bernard

Kyle Anthony Bernard, 38, was born into this world with great joy on June 21, 1979 in Houma, LA. With much sadness and heartache the Lord seen fit to take Kyle to his Heavenly home on Friday, September 22, 2017 after many years of struggles and battles. We will greatly miss him, but we won’t worry any longer because he is safely home now in Heaven. He is now at total peace. Absent from the body present with the Lord. Secure for eternity. We loved him so deeply, but we couldn’t save him, so God seen our pain and his pain and set him free. The evil may have gotten his body, but it couldn’t ever get his Spirit and Soul. We will see him again our precious one. But we know this earth is only our temporary home we are just passing through, and now he is truly home. This wasn’t Kyle’s home, his homeland is Heaven now. God has him in His keeping, but we have him in our hearts. We can no longer hear his voice or see his smile or hear his laugh, but we will keep him close in our memories and our hearts. Every time the family will get together and it’s him we cannot see, our hearts will be filled with sadness thinking of him and how it used to be. To us we loved and lost you too soon. Your memories will always last. It’s breaking our hearts now to lose him, but a part of us goes with him. For memories are a keepsake we’ll keep. Kyle was a Catholic. He believed in God and he is with him now. Let’s remember the good times and memories and his smile. And please pray for his precious children Haylee and Chase.
