Wesley “Bubba” Kern, Jr., 32, of Lumberton, died Tuesday, September 20, 2004 at his home.
Born in Harlingen, Texas, he lived most of his life in the Lumberton area. He was a carpenter by trade, and his hobbies included gardening, working with computers, watching horror movies, books, Halloween, and a fascination with the Macabre. Wesley also had an undying love for animals with Mary, a bull-mastiff, and Simon his cat, being his favorites.
He gave his life to the Lord earlier this year at First United Methodist Church of Kountze. He had a collection of crosses, pictures of salvation, angels and Jesus. Anything spiritual in nature was always his gift of choice to give to family members.
Through all his trials and tribulations, Bubba was, and always will be, deeply loved by his family.
Survivors include his parents, Wesley and Madonna Kern of Lumberton; sisters, Sharon Douglas and her husband Gordon of Cypress, Texas and Alisa Harwell and her husband Ronald of Lumberton; along with other loving family members.
Funeral services will be 10:00 a.m. Friday, September 24, 2004 at Broussard’s Mortuary, 2000 McFaddin, Beaumont, with committal service at 12:00 p.m. at Magnolia Cemetery. A gathering of family and friends will be Thursday evening, September 23, 2004 from 6:00 until 9:00 at the mortuary.
