Michael Bernard

July 15, 1964 — September 22, 2023

Michael Bernard, a hardworking man from Newport, RI, passed away on September 22, 2023, at the age of 59. He was born on July 15, 1964, in his hometown of Newport, the son of the late Arthur and Joan (Ferry) Bernard.

Michael dedicated his life to his work in the construction industry, working for A-1 Paving and East Coast Construction and RI Towing and Mello's towing for many years. With his strong work ethic and determination, he made a significant impact in his field.

Outside of work, Michael was a loving and devoted family man. He had a deep affection for his wife Kim Bernard, with whom he shared many cherished memories. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support for each other. Mike enjoyed watching Law in Order, The Big Bang Theory and Master Chef. He was a country music fan and enjoyed shooting pool.

Michael was a proud father to his children Lisa Piszcz, Christine Mello, Ann Flynn, Ronald Ribera Jr, and Michelle Ribera. He treasured each moment spent with them, whether it was sharing family meals, or simply enjoying each other's company. He adored his 13 Grandchildren and 3 Great Grandchildren and his two chihuahua Ace and Dakota.

Michael will also be remembered by his siblings Peter Bernard, Sharon Dupree, Mary Bernard, and Regina Rice, who supported and loved him throughout his life. Together, they shared a special bond that cannot be broken.
