Proud father of Kimberly Bernasconi of Placerville. Step brother of Ron Bernasconi of Lodi, half brother of Christian Bernasconi of Switzerland. His uncle and aunt, John and Nancy Abel and cousins Corey, Ryan and Derek Abel, Dana Tognini and Donna Di Basilo will miss him. Dearly loved by his uncle and aunt, Gene and Mari Jon Di Basilio of San Rafael. Also leaves behind his devoted friends, Galen and Mary Burgett of Novato and his cockatiel, Budwig.
Cremation by The Neptune Society. Private graveside Services will be held at the Masonic and Oddfellows Cemetary in Rio Vista. Memorial services in San Rafael are pending.
