Bernal, Tony Entered into Eternal Life on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at age 66, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Beloved husband of Ginger for 19 years. Doting father of Starla. Admired brother of Gabriel, Andy, and Imelda. Also dearly loved by nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. He now joins his parents, Delfa and Juan, and his sister, Julie, in eternal rest.

Tony Bernal was born in Sinton, Texas, and moved with his family to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at a young age. He spent most of his life in the surrounding area. A gifted musician and lifelong lover of music, he found great joy in playing guitar, bass, keyboard, and singing. He was especially passionate about The Beatles, and he shared his talents as a performer in many bands over the years. His music reached audiences at Summerfest, weddings, festivals, and local venues throughout Wisconsin. Professionally, he worked for many years at Sears, where he was known as a skilled and personable salesman. Later, he worked with Primerica, continuing to use his talents to connect with and help others. His Catholic faith was a deep and joyful part of his life. He was proud to be part of the Church, regularly attending Mass, volunteering his time, and participating in multiple Catholic men’s groups. His faith brought him peace, purpose, and community. He will be remembered for his humor, his kindness, and his love of music.

Tony: I'm glad we reconnected again over these last four years and thank you for sharing with me your musical talent. I'll listen to the gifts you leave behind with fond memories, miss our times hanging out together (with Oscar too) and having our conversations about current events. God bless you my friend. -Kurt
