Marcelino Bernal Palma's Obituary
Marcelino Bernal Palma
July 17, 1966 - May 12, 2025
Marcelino Bernal Palma, 58, of Dallas, Texas, passed away peacefully on May 12th, 2025, at 11:30 a.m., surrounded by his loving family.
Marcelino lived a full and active life, known for his warmth, generosity, and the lasting connections he built with everyone he met. A man who valued hard work, precision, and a deep sense of curiosity, he brought energy and sincerity to all that he did. His presence filled every room, and he never missed a chance to share a smile or lend a helping hand.
Family was the heart of Marcelino’s world. He is survived by his devoted wife of 35 years, Thao Nguyen (54); his daughter Noemi Easton (33), her husband Michael Easton (32), and his beloved granddaughter Emilia Easton (6); as well as his daughter Michelle Blake (30) and her husband Thomas Blake (31). Marcelino was not only a father to his own children but a father figure to many others in the extended family—a role he embraced with pride, love, and selflessness.
His faith in Christ guided him throughout his life and was evident in his words, actions, and the compassion he shared with others. Marcelino passed away as he lived, surrounded by love, and we take comfort in knowing he has been welcomed home by his Lord and Savior.
He will be sorely missed but forever remembered in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
