Royce Bertrand
With the assurance of his salvation, we would share the passing of Royce Bertrand, age 79, of Orange, who departed the land of the dying on Wednesday, January 29, 2025. Born on March 29, 1945, in Beaumont, Royce was the son of Rose Ellen See Bertrand and James Clarence Bertrand. His legacy includes proud service as a veteran in the United States Air Force, where he exemplified dedication and honor.
Royce enjoyed a fulfilling career as a chef, where he shared his passion for cooking and nurtured the palates of many. He will be remembered not only for his culinary skills but also for the warmth and kindness he extended to everyone around him.
Royce leaves behind a loving family who will miss him dearly. He is survived by his devoted wife of 54 yeas, Judy Bertrand; his daughter, Diane Silver, and her husband, Mark; his son, Christopher Bertrand, and his wife, Chanthea; and his daughter, Holli Bertrand, all of Orange. He is also survived by his brother, Clarence Bertrand of Lumberton.
Royce’s great joys were his beloved grandchildren: David Silver and Elisabella Bertrand of Orange; Forrest Coffie of Beaumont; River VanMeter and his wife, Gabbi, of Orange; and Lake VanMeter and his wife, Sabrina, of Boston, Massachusetts.
Royce has been reunited with his parents and his brothers, Reagan Bertrand and Ronald Bertrand, who preceded him in death.
