Bert graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1975, and went on to study electrical engineering at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas.

Although Bert had a difficult time battling his illness for several years, he never lost his silly sense of humor and positive outlook on life. He will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to have known him.

Bert was preceded in death by his parents, James and Beverly Ferguson, and by his sister Linda Ferguson. He is survived by his daughter Ashley Ferguson, two brothers Michael and Daniel Ferguson, and sister Lisa King and their families.
