Bernardo Diaz

With deep love and heartfelt remembrance, we announce the passing of Bernardo Diaz, age 84, who was peacefully called home to be with the Lord on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at his residence, surrounded by the warmth and devotion of his loving family.

Bernardo was born to the late Bernardo and Simona Diaz, who instilled in him the values of faith, family, and perseverance, principles that guided him throughout his life. A devoted husband, loving father, cherished grandfather, and faithful servant of God, Bernardo’s presence was a steady source of strength, wisdom, and quiet grace to all who knew him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Criselda Diaz, with whom he shared a life rooted in love, commitment, and faith. Bernardo leaves behind his children, Bernardo Diaz (Ruby Diaz), Emmy Diaz (Mario Aleman), and Diana P. Diaz (Cristophe Sucur), who will forever carry his lessons, values, and unwavering love in their hearts.

Bernardo was a proud and devoted grandfather to Victoria, Valerie, Valentina, Emmy, Annabelle, and Ezequiel, each of whom brought him immeasurable joy and purpose. His love for his family was steadfast, and his legacy lives on through the generations he so deeply cherished.

Those who knew Bernardo will remember him for his gentle spirit, quiet strength, and enduring faith. His life was a testament to love, humility, and devotion, an example that will continue to guide and inspire all who were blessed to walk beside him.

Though he will be dearly missed, we find comfort in knowing that Bernardo now rests in eternal peace, embraced by God’s promise and reunited with loved ones who have gone before him.
