Jeff J.C. "J.C." Bertrand

Survived by his wife of 40 years, Brenda “B.J.” Bertrand, Father David Leo Bertrand II, step mom Polly Bertrand, Sister Deborah Fuselier, step sister Susan Olsen, step daughter Dawn Martinez and Hector Martinez, Daughter in law Sara Sauthoff and Jason. Seven Grandsons Sean Austin Bertrand, Joseph Christopher Bertrand, Alec Jeffery Bertrand, Michael Dale Bertrand, David Bertrand, Jesse John Martinez, Christopher Edward Martinez, 2 Granddaughters, Brooke Bertrand and Tristin Bertrand. A loving dog Rocky and a grand host of friends, neighbors, and acquaintances.

Jeff was preceded in death by his mother, Gloria Domingue, Step dad Joseph “Joe” Domingue, Brother David Leo Bertrand III, sons Jacob Craig Bertrand and Jeremy Cayne Bertrand. Niece Melissa Fuselier and two loving hunting dogs he hauled everywhere with him for 14 years Hawk and Talon whom he loved and treated as a prince and princess. He also lost his loving dogs Marshall, Reggie, Casper, and Baby.

Jeff was an avid hunter, and has saved many animals he has found wounded. He had also saved a few lives of humans along his way. His favorite hunt was ducks and geese and he was the best at it.

Jeff was known by many as Jeff, but he always preferred to be called “J.C”. During his lifetime he was very successful in several businesses of a Tropical Fish Store, an Auto Repair Shop, A home repair/remodeling business Space City Home Repair, and a boat storage facility in Freeport Texas.

Jeff attended and graduated from Port Neches Groves High School. He went right into the construction arena after graduation. Jeff had just attended his 45th class reunion on August 7th and was blessed to see a lot of his friends before his unfortunate and untimely passing.

A special thanks goes out to many of his friends who have just came out of the woodwork to pour out their sympathy and be here to comfort me. I shall hold their kindness in my heart forever and Jeff would have been so pleased to know his friends cared for me so much.

Jeff’s wishes were to be cremated and placed in an urn that would house him and his hunting dogs Hawk and Talon whom he loved very much. A Celebration of his life will be held at a later date to be determined.
