Bernard Alan Lankford Obituary
It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Bernard Alan Lankford (Bristol, Tennessee), born in Raven, Virginia, who passed away at the age of 73, on October 22, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Bernard Alan Lankford to show support.
As we bid Bernard farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Bernard is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Bernard Trevor Lankford and Agnes Reedy Lankford; and his siblings, Mark Trevor Lankford and Jane Lankford Jeffries. He is survived by: his wife Judy; his children, Bernard Trevor Lankford II and Tara Lankford Smalling (Aaron); and his grandson Damian.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to First Church of God, 301 Georgia Avenue, Bristol, TN, or to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in her memory.
