Emiliano Gaston Bernal

On the afternoon of August​ 24, 2018, a heart of gold stopped beating. Emiliano Gaston Bernal has joined with his beloved mother, Judith Bernal, in Heaven. He was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona.

Emiliano touched the lives of many. He was a giving person with an incredible heart. Emiliano saw the good in everyone and in every situation. He just wanted to make everyone happy. Words can't describe his charismatic nature. If you were lucky enough to know him, you're probably smiling now. Emiliano enjoyed spending time with family, helping others, seeking adventure, drawing, and painting. More than anything Emiliano loved being a dad. He loved all children, as he was a child at heart himself.

He is survived by his fiance Sonia Munoz; sons: Dominic and Demitri; daughters: Maya, Jasmine, Andrea, and Angelina; dad Julio Bernal; brothers: Joaquin Bernal and Luciano Bernal; sister Celina Peralta; half-brothers: Santiago Bernal and Julian Bernal; half-sister Angelica Bernal; nephews: Giovanni Bernal, Max Peralta, Angel Bernal, Angelo Alcaraz, and Alexander Alcaraz; and niece; Marisa Bernal.

Even though our brother, Emiliano has been called to Heaven, we shall cherish our memories of ​his bashful yet beautiful smile, his contagious laugh, his undeniable talent, and all the love he gave. Right now the pain of his departure is heavy, but eventually we will find serenity within our hearts knowing Emiliano is soaring peacefully above us, with angels wings. Emiliano spread your wings and fly, for now you are free.
