Terrence Wayne Bernard, known to many as Terry, was born on June 19, 1960, in Philadelphia, PA, and passed away on June 16, 2023. A loving and loyal father, Terry lived his life with generosity and thoughtfulness. His devotion to his family and his passion for all things automotive made him a truly remarkable and unforgettable man. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "It is not the length of life, but the depth of life." Terry's depth of character and love for life left a lasting impact on all who knew him.
Terry's career as a mechanic and his love for working on hot rods allowed him to pursue his passion for vehicles, a passion that led to a lifelong love affair with his motorcycle and cars. An ardent supporter for his kids and grandchildren, he was always willing to lend a helping hand, share his wealth of knowledge, and be there for them in every way possible. His generous spirit made him a beacon of light in the lives of his loved ones, his presence a constant source of warmth and comfort.
Terrence is survived by his ex-wife, Carol Staines; his children, Savannah Bernard, Starr Bernard, Cody Love, Heather Love, Matthew Rader, and Michael Staines. His grandchildren Alaia Scott and Madilynn Marciano. He is preceded in death by his father, Terrence Bernard, and his mother, Joan Jackson. As we remember Terry, we invite you to join us in celebrating the life of this extraordinary man, who touched the lives of so many with his loving nature and unwavering support.
We encourage you to share your memories of Terry and upload photos to his memorial page, so that we may all remember and celebrate the life of this one-of-a-kind individual.
