Bernard Deshner
June 5, 1945 — May 21, 2013
Bernard was known to some as Dad but to most as "Bugs" or Bernie. He passed away from natural causes on May 21, 2013 at the young age of 67. He was born in Great Falls, MT on June 5, 1945 to Wilmer and Minnie Deshner. He grew up in Great Falls with his parents and 12 brother and sisters. He married the love of his life, Sharon Kathleen Howard, on October 30, 1964. Throughout the 43 years they spent together they had 8 amazing children consisting of 5 girls and 3 boys.
He was a man of many trades, he served in the Marine Corp Reserves and the Army Reserves. He also worked on the railroad, at a saw mill, for the Smelter in Great Falls and lastly as a mechanic who could fix anything! Most of all he was the Cowboy in the tall boots and the ten gallon Cowboy Hat.
He loved spending time with family and friends. Every day was a good day to go fishing or have a barbecue and play horseshoes. Anything that involved family and fun made him the happiest man ever. Working under the hood of a car with his boys was truly one his most favorite things to do.
