The Homegoing Services Celebrating and Honoring the life of Bernard Leak, 66, of Enid, will be held 1:00 P.M. Tuesday July 6, 2021 in the Brown-Cummings Funeral Home. Burial will follow in the Memorial Park Cemetery. Services are under the direction of Brown-Cummings Funeral Home. Bernard was born on March 18, 1955, to Thomas and Juanita Leak in West End, North Carolina and passed away on Wednesday, June 23rd in Enid, Oklahoma.
Bernard spent the first half of his life growing up in North Carolina with his parents and siblings. He would spend time working on his grandfather’s tobacco farm. He was also a stand out athlete in both football and wrestling. After graduating from North Carolina A&T in 1977, Bernard went on to serve in the United States Air Force, that would eventually lead him to Enid, Oklahoma, where he would meet his wife of 37 years, Erma Gracey. Bernard and Erma went on to have three daughters, Kimberly, Rachel, and Jacqueline. After serving over a decade in the Air Force, Bernard was honorably discharged. He would continue to work in the field of service as an employee with the Department of Human Services, working late nights at the Northern Oklahoma Resource Center for over 20 years until he retired in 2014. Bernard dedicated his life to family, service, and helping others. He will be greatly missed and forever loved by his wife and daughters.
He leaves behind his wife and three daughters, all of Enid, sister, Sarah McHenry, of North Carolina, brothers Andrew, James, and Jeffery of Georgia, and many other family and friends. He is preceded in death by both parents, his brother, Thomas Archie Leak, and sister, Wantina Leak.
Dad, we’re going to miss your laugh, your corny jokes, and your random outbursts of singing. We love you, Dad!
