Adam J. Bernardo

Cranston, RI - Adam J. Bernardo, 40, who suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm on May 8 while riding his bicycle on Wellington Avenue, died Wednesday, May 11, 2022, at Rhode Island Hospital. Born in Providence, a beloved son of Robert A. Bernardo and the late Valerie P. Clark, he was the brother of the late Jason R. Bernardo.
For more than ten years Adam worked in passenger services and as a security officer at T.F. Green Airport employed last by Allied Universal Security Services.
Adam loved his two children with all his heart. He also loved his dog Jinks who was his constant companion. He often told stories of the elderly people he would meet at the airport and asked about their life; he genuinely cared about what they had to say and respected them for the tales they would share. He enjoyed researching any and all things about WWII. He spent many hours asking both of his grandfathers about their experiences during the war. He was an avid reader of non-fiction as well as espionage fiction. He will be remembered as a young man who had a gentle and kind soul.
In addition to his father, Robert A. Bernardo (whose partner is Jacqueline Feirouz), Adam is survived by his wife Crystal (McGlynn) Bernardo and his two children Adara and Lowgin Bernardo. He was the nephew of Jacqueline Connelly, Janet Elman, Theresa Mulligan, Linda A. Schayer, and Diane L. Clark, and is survived also by many cousins.
