Tage Bernardo Obituary

Tage Justin Bernardo 26 left us much too soon on July 17, 2024. He was born on May 31, 1998 in Beaver, Utah to Shannon and Bo of Parowan, Utah.
Tage loved the outdoors. Whether it was up on the mountain, or out in the hills. He enjoyed camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, and even just driving down a dirt road listening to music. Always wanting to explore, he was fearless in his adventures. You can describe his humor in one word, "LEGENDARY". Bringing light, laughter, and happiness to everyone. Tage loved his family and friends unconditionally with his whole heart. He had the amazing gift of taking the time to make each and every person he knew feel special, typically in the form of big hugs, and teasing. To his nieces, and nephews, "uncle Tah" was the greatest uncle in the world. Tage often walked up to strangers and walked away with a good friend. He loved all animals, but his dogs were his favorite, Boone, Ryder, and Odin. He rescued each one of them, and gave them the very best life. Boone left this earth before Tage, but we know he was there to greet him with a wagging tail. Tage's favorite hobby, when he wasn't outdoors, was gaming. He would frequently game online with family, and friends. He also tried his hand at woodworking and leatherwork. Tage was very intelligent and had a huge thirst for knowledge. Always wanting to learn about and try new things. Tage was fascinated and very knowledgeable about all of his family lineages. However, he was most proud of his Royal Viking lineage.
Tage graduated from Parowan High School in 2016 and was awarded scholarships for welding. He went on to attend Southwest Tech College in Cedar City, Utah to further his education in welding and fabrication. Tage was a quick learner, and a jack of all trades. From welding, to installing garage doors, RV salesman, drywall, and framing just to name a few. One of his proudest works were the natural gas fire features he did for the Parade of Homes in St. George, Utah.
