Bernie was born on August 20, 1966, in Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico to parents Jose Dolores Polanco and Maria Ernestina Villalobos. Bernie was the epitome of the American dream. He came to the United States as a child, working odd jobs until he found his calling in the Oil field. Bernie created his own legacy as one of the best workover rig operators in the Four Corners. His work ethic coupled with his loving demeanor made him a very unique soul. He knew no stranger. Anyone who was near him instantly became his friend. Bernie dedicated his life to the Lord and taking care of his family. With the spiritual guidance of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints his faith was unwavering. Bernie and his wife were married for over 31 years. Angelica was the love of his life, best friend, and confidant. Bernie spent any free time he had enjoying it with his children and grandchildren. He would move mountains to help anyone who asked for it. His smile could light up a room or ease any heart. His generosity, strong hugs and wild jokes will be missed. He is riding his golden pumping jack in the sky. Bernie is preceded in death by his parents Jose D. Polanco and Maria E.
