David Breuer-Bernard - Class of 1999 - With great
sadness, we announce the passing of David E. Breuer-Bernard
of Newburgh, NY. Born in Manhattan on February 13, 1981, to
Edward and Christina (Costiglio) Bernard. After graduating
from NFA in 1999, where he excelled in art, he pursued
various passions, including professional photography and
crafting his fabulous handmade crochet items. David
cherished people, animals, cooking treasured family recipes,
dancing, books, and Christmas. His infectious laughter will
be dearly missed by all who knew him, as well as the
positive energy he brought to every room. You laughed with
him during those often unexpected bursts of joy, in moments
of "that's so David," and may those moments continue to
bring a smile to your face. David welcomed everyone,
embraced all, and loved with his whole heart. His genuine
and courageous example inspired others to do the same,
creating a legacy of kindness, openness, and love that
continues to touch the lives and hearts of those he knew,
and beyond. He is predeceased by his beloved mother and is
survived by his husband, Mark Breuer-Bernard of Wappingers
Falls, NY, his father, Edward Bernard of Newburgh, and his
sister, Laura C. Bernard of Watertown, MA. He also leaves
behind numerous family members, friends, and friends who
became family. David will be remembered for his generosity,
creativity, and most of all, for always being true to
himself.
