Sparky Bernal Lara Obituary (2019 - 2025)

Sparky Bernal, affectionately known as Sparkino, Sparky-doodle, Mr.Spark, Barky, Señor Sparks, and Sparkito, took his final walk on February 5th, 2025, leaving behind a trail of joy and unforgettable memories. Born on July 8th, 2019, this funny, loving, smart, and courageous soul resided in Zion, Illinois for his entire, yet vibrant, life of five years. A loyal companion and the sweetest baby boy, Sparky was a beacon of love and happiness whose days were filled with simple pleasures that brought immense joy to those around him. A mischievous sock thief and a keen observer of the world from his favored perch on the couch, Sparky's days were filled with adventure and love. His courageous spirit was evident in his playful tussles with his Labrador brother, Kash, and his smart, funny personality shone through in his gentle interactions with his cat sister, Tilby. Above all, his most cherished moments were spent in the loving arms of his mama, Dulce, and the Godinez family. As Anatole France once said, "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Indeed, Sparky awakened a profound sense of love and compassion in the hearts of all who knew him. Sparky leaves behind an indelible paw print on the hearts of his beloved family members, Dahnya, Gianna, Dulce, Abbie, Lenin, Isabel, and Jarely. His absence is deeply felt, but the joy he brought into their lives continues to radiate in his memory. His life, though short, was a testament to the enduring power of love and companionship. As we remember Sparky, let us echo the words of Agnes Sligh Turnbull, "Dog's lives are too short. Their only fault, really." We invite you to share your fond memories and photos of Sparky on his memorial page. Let's celebrate the life of this extraordinary animal who brought such joy and love into our lives.
