September 17, 1964 – April 4, 2021
With deep sadness we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Bernie May, in Strathmore, Alberta at the age of 56 years. Born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, Bernie went to school in Landis, Saskatchewan, graduating in 1982. He worked for United Grain Growers for 17 years becoming a manager at Herschel and Davidson. Over the next several years he worked for a few other Agricultural Service companies.
Bernie loved the outdoors; hiking in the Rocky Mountains and canoe trips in Western Canada. He enjoyed playing hockey and curling, and was an avid sports fan.
Bernie’s proudest accomplishment was becoming a father; to Ruby Lynn in January 2007, followed by Winston Bernard in December 2008. His most cherished moments were spending time with his wonderful children.
Bernie is lovingly remembered by his children Ruby and Winston; his three brothers, Rich(Christa), Rod(Suzanne), and Brent(Erin); and his loving Mom, Karen. He was predeceased by his Dad, Garry.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Bernie’s memory may be made to the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation of Alberta(100-119-14th Street NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1Z6)
