Postponing his career to support his family was a blessing in disguise. All great comics have worked blue collar jobs, because they provide the best material.

[@karlhungus5554]

Bernie had a God-given talent. He's one of my favorite comedians and one of my favorite people. Aside from his obvious gifts for comedy and acting, he was a real man. He respected himself, respected and valued his wife, took care of his family, and he was kind and generous to others. A few times a year, I have to binge-watch his KZbin clips and he always has me howling with laughter. He was intelligent, an impeccable dresser, and his beautiful smile was always contagious. Rest in peace, Mac.

Bernie Mack is a name that brings laughter to your face. Just thinking about him and his demeanor brings joy to you. I try not to think about him leaving here from all of us. But I know he is in a better place and not suffering and no more pain. We were all blessed that God allowed him to be here. God bless you, Bernie and your family. You are surely missed.

Bernie was my classmate. I had no way of knowing what he'd accomplish in his life. When he was a freshman in high school, he made these bullies leave me alone. We were riding home from school and these bullies were trying to make me smoke a cigarette on the bus. I was 4' 11" Bernie was big and tall. He said "you don't have to smoke that cigarette if you don't want to!" Then he told the bullies to leave me alone. And they did. I never forgot that my whole life. 🚬

I think it was Bernies faith that allowed him to stay so grounded, even with all the success money and fame he was the same man who was on that def jam comedy stage, he was the same man who was cleaning floors. Humble from beginning to end.
