Bernard S. Klopfer, age 59 of Cedar Hill, passed away unexpectedly on November 20, 2022. He was born on February 27, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Leopold Klopfer (born in Augsburg, Germany) and Fujie Matsuo Klopfer (born in Obama, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan).

Breeding; grandchildren-in-love Ashleigh Autumn Breeding, Jaiden Elisha Breeding, Trinity Victoria Breeding, Emma Grace Breeding, and Caleb Alexander Breeding; siblings JoAnne Carr, Dale Klopfer, and Milton Klopfer.

Bernard completed several graduate degrees from Cornell University. He used his knowledge and compassion to help make a difference in business that would positively affect the world. He served in many leadership roles at iCMO, Steadfast Partners, Jabil, and CA Technologies. Bernard’s dedication to the success of the team of these companies and associates gave him great pride.

Bernard was proud to receive Christ as his Lord and Savior and was an active member Leading Way Ministries, where he also served as a Director. In his spare time, Bernard enjoyed animals, music, learning, helping others, traveling, collecting items, coins, and spending time with family and friends.
