Alex Bernardin

Alexandre Ryan Bernardin

(Drop Kick)

It is with very heavy hearts that we announce that our awesome special angel, Alex, passed away peacefully in his mother’s arms surrounded by family at the Children’s Hospital on Monday, November 9, 2015 at the age of three and half years. He is now flying free like a beautiful butterfly with the angels, free from pain and tubes.

He will forever be remembered by his Mommy, Nathalie Bernard and Daddy Mike Bernardin, and his big brother Justin Bernardin. Also missing him are his grandparents: Aline and Denis Bernard and Harry and Angie Bernardin; great grandparents: Lucienne Roch, Henriette Bernardin, Linda and George Ross; Aunts, Uncles and Cousins: Marcel Roch and Gwen, Richard Bernard (Michelle), Mireille Bernard (Trent) and Trenton Jr., Marc Bernard (Chantal), Jaime Bernardin and Carrie, Paige and Camryn, Susie (Vince) Hiebert and Taylor, Lindsey, Brenden and Jessica as well as numerous, great aunts and uncles, relatives, DBA families, medical staff at CK5 and CancerCare and many friends.

Alex has joined in heaven his great great grandparents Alfred and Rosalida Ross, great grandparents Wilfred Bernardin, Albert Roch, Léon and Fernande (née Poquet) Bernard, and his special friends: Kellan, Lucian, Maddie and Candace.

Alex loved the Avengers, Paw Patrol, blowing and popping bubbles, dancing and showing off his kung-fu moves and playing with his big brother. He played peek-a-boo with all the nurses and would shoot spider webs at everybody. Alex was such a fighter and always had a smile or smirk on his face, no matter what the day brought. He was a smart, small boy of very few words, but could communicate so well his wishes with his powerful finger, hands and powerful expressions. Alex never made it far from home but yet he touched so many lives across the world.

Alex this is not good-bye, see ya soon buddy- back?!
