Ygnacio Bermudez

Lansing, MI

Age 35, died November 10, 2011; born May 16, 1976 in Lansing, Michigan. Ygnacio loved to be with his family and always had a houseful of kids around him. He had a great sense of humor and turned everything into a pillow. He was generous, extremely caring and always wanted to help others. He was a loving brother and great friend to many people. Anitra Hernandez writes that Notch was bigger than life. “He had the biggest heart of any person I’ve ever known. He was an inspiration to everyone that really knew him. His love for God was unwavering. Everything that I know about God I learned from him. Some people may have thought that he was this tough person, but in reality, he was the most sensitive person I knew and was never ashamed to cry and let his emotions out. His love for his children was unconditional. The kind of love that is so strong it hurts. There were no words to express how much he is going to be missed. I will try my hardest everyday to be that kind of person that he would want me to be for his children. I know that he wants them to know the Lord and I am going to make that happen, so that we can all be together again when God calls us home. I know that he is not physically here but he is here in spirit and he will always be here in our hearts. I know that his soul is at peace now. He struggled in this world, as we all do, but God was always first in his heart. I love you forever, Ygnacio, nothing will ever stop that.” Surviving are his significant other, Anitra Hernandez; daughter, Elaria Bermudez; 2 sons, Elijah and Kyshaun Garea; grandmother, Deifina Lopez; father, Ygnacio and wife Olivia Bermudez, Sr.; mother, Ruth Lopez; 2 brothers, Joseph Bermudez and Isydro Lopez; 2 sisters, Amiee Bermudez Lara and Yolanda Lopez; 3 nieces, Savanna, Sierra and Guadalupe Lara; 3 nephews, Joe Bermudez, Jr.; Sirilo Bermudez, and Dominic Jones; great-niece, Arianna Ruiz; great-nephews, Rolando Ruiz III, Isaiah Vimolsathit.
