Bernard Clarence Roering was born January 18, 1963 in St. Cloud, Minnesota to Ralph and Rosemary (Haffner) Roering. On December 2, 1989, he married Lalonne Fischer and together they raised a family he was deeply proud of.

Bernie loved hunting, fishing, camping, being outdoors, and spending time with his family. He was always willing to help others, even when his own health made it difficult. He had a special way of making his grandkids laugh – especially with his Donald Duck voice. Bernie carried himself with quiet strength, independence, and a heart full of love. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
