October 22, 2023
Loyal, Reliable, Strong and Brave are all words that describe a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and friend. Sidney Allen Bernhard passed away peacefully on October 17, 2023, at 68 years old. Born in Fredericksburg, Texas, on August 5, 1955, Sid was the son of Charles and Carlette Bernhard. He was the third born to a family of seven boys. He was a 1973 graduate of Winston Churchill High School. Soon after, Sid earned his real estate brokers license and opened Bernhard Realty. Quickly he realized his true calling was in the concrete and home building business. It was then that he founded Slabco, Inc. and later Bernhard Custom Homes. Sid married the love of his life, Karla Denise Bernhard, on August 6, 1983, in Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas. Sid and Karla made Boerne their home in 1983 and began raising their family and growing his business. The simplicity of sitting in a deer blind or calling deer in from his back porch brought so much joy to Sid throughout his life. An even bigger joy in his life was when his four beloved grandchildren joined him in his passions. To see them share his love for the outdoors and the simple joys of life, was a source of immeasurable happiness for him. Sid was a man of his word and never met a stranger. His wisdom was as straightforward as the man himself; "keep it simple.
