Bernard LaDuke, Jr.


Bernard LaDuke, Jr. (Bernie/Beanie) left this world, in the arms of the love of his life, his wife Seidy, on November 5, 2020, in San Vito, Costa Rica.  Born in 1949, a landslide caused by relentless hurricane inspired rain loosened the soil behind their home and took their lives, destroying their home.
Bernie graduated from JW Sexton in 1968 and lived away from Lansing most of the rest of his life, although returning frequently to visit family and friends.  He and Seidy recently celebrated their 25th anniversary in Costa Rica, their home for many years.  They were loved by many around the globe and their generosity and kind spirits will remain in the memories of those of us who loved them.
Bernie is survived by his mother, Alice (Billye), previously of Potterville; sister, Donna; and three daughters, Blythe, Morning Star and Alicia.  He was predeceased by his father, Bernard, Sr.
