He is survived by his wife, Tammy (Heart) Bernados of Johns Island, SC; daughter, Nikki Calvert-Andrew (Jonny), Greenbrae, CA, son: Mathew Wilson Phoenix Esperitu of Phoenix, AZ, father, Teodulo Bernados of Johns Island, SC, sisters, Prisca Denton (Jeff) of Charleston, SC and Kathy Goerdt (Jeff) of Glendale Heights, Il and brother, Teo-Anthony "Tony" Bernados (Donna) of Evans, GA.

It's been 5 years since you passed away
And I've missed you every single day
The love, the ache- do not abate
Echoes of you- reverberate

I see you in each new days dawning
The light that starts the birdsong spawning
Your laughter heard upon each breeze
That sound can bring me to my knees

And again in the strong afternoon heat
The warmth of your hug for all that you meet
Arms wrap around with the strength of a bear
I close my eyes and I feel you are there

When evening falls and the world goes to sleep
I think of you instead of counting sheep
The sound of your voice, the warmth of your smile
You visit my dreams and we laugh for a while

The world is so different since you passed away
But I know you are with me, every day
Until the time comes we are together again
Ill cherish your memory; my brother. My friend.
