John N. Bertrand passed away peacefully June 27, 2018 at his home near Ely, Nevada, after he lost the fight to cancer. John was born February 16, 1947 in Reno, Nevada and grew up in Yerington, Nevada.
He worked his entire life in the mining industry. After his retirement John lived and worked on the family farm near Lages Junction. He enjoyed sports, hunting, and fishing.
John is survived by his wife Kathleen; son Mikael Bertrand; daughters Alanna Bertrand, Maegan Bertrand, and Mandy Bell (Mike); grandsons Dion Daugherty and Kyle Bell; granddaughter Hailey Bell; brother Linville Frederick Bertrand and sister Marguerite (Merrill) Gifford. He is preceded in death by his parents and daughter Andrea Bertrand.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
John was a neighbor when we lived in Fernley, after he moved away we would see each other in youth baseball tournaments in Elko, and Spring Creek and John was always there even though he had no relatives participating. John always took interest in the youth sports. John was a very good man.
Rest in Peace John. I enjoyed our visits at Lages Junction whenever we ran into each other.
