Bernard Garron

Bernard Lent Garron Jr. of Hopkinton passed away at his home on Oct. 8, 2025, at the age of 79. Born in Framingham, he was the son of the late Marion (Johnson) and Bernard Lent Garron Sr. He was the husband of 56 years to Sandra (Morris) Garron of Hopkinton.

An Air Force veteran, Bernie served honorably during the Vietnam War. He was a member of the Ashland VFW.

Bernie loved his children and grandchildren deeply and cherished the time he spent with them.

In addition to his wife, Bernie is survived by two children, Tracy Garron and TJ Garron, along with TJ’s wife, Carrie, all of Hopkinton. He also leaves behind his sister, Penny Taylor of Ashland, and four grandsons, Calvin and Eric Touzjian, and Jake and Nick Garron. He is predeceased by his brother, Kenny Garron.
