Bear, also know as Little Bear, Bubba, and Stinker, was born May 11, 2014 and was raised in Sumter, South Carolina where he spent most of his life. He spent a great six months with his Grandma in North Carolina before coming back home to his family in Myrtle Beach, SC where he spent the last two years of his life.
As a young pup Bear was so full of life and love. He’d want to follow you anywhere you went and he never backed down from anything. He spent his days on my Grandpa’s farm where he helped them feed their livestock daily. He loved farm life, they even had a pond out back that he loved to swim in.
As he grew older Bear became a huge fan of car rides, especially if it meant they were going to the national park! He loved swimming, boat rides, exploring, and just being outside in nature. He’s the kind of dog that anytime you slip your shoes on he’s right behind you ready to roll.
After moving to Myrtle Beach, they figured Bear needed some company so they rescued his sister, Nola, from the Sumter SPCA. They instantly loved each other. They spent their mornings playing and zipping through the house like it’s a drag strip. Nola brought new life to Bear and she was the friend he needed.
Bear and Nola enjoyed car rides, wrestling, and laying on the balcony together. Their favorite treats are pup cups and pig ears from their Grandma.
Left to cherish his memory are his Mom, Dad, Sister, Grandparents, and many friends. As one of their friends said recently, “To know Bear was to love him” and that is so, so true. Bear is deeply loved by many and has touched the hearts of all who’ve had the pleasure of meeting him.
Bear was beautifully laid to rest with Peaceful Paws Mortuary and Crematory at 4:00pm on Tuesday November 19, 2024. He was surrounded by family who love him and helped him cross the rainbow bridge, where on the other side his longtime friends Swamper, Mossy, and Sookie were waiting for him.
Bear spent his final days visiting with all his family, going on car rides, eating his favorite treats, and being made the biggest t-bone steak with shrimp. His family welcomes you to leave any remarks below about your memories with Bear and/or condolences. Thank you all for being apart of his life, he truly knew how loved he was by all.

im sorry for your loss
My granpuppy will forever be the best puppy ever, I always told him that. Bear was my hero in so many ways so many times. When I jingled the truck keys he would always do his dance in circles and was ready to go. He maybe gone but my heart is with him. ❤️
Man I don’t even know where to start! Big dawg bear man. I’ll never forget the first time we met 😭 I was so afraid of big dogs and man were you huge. But, your mom told me it was okay and that you wouldn’t do anything and so I trusted that and got out the truck to meet you. But man when I seen that big tank of a dog running at me at full speed I’m not gonna lie I hopped right in the bed of that truck just as fast. But, you were such an intelligent pup you could see that I was absolutely terrified, so you were so gentle and calm when you came to the truck that it made me want to pet you. And once I let you and gave you that lil scratch behind the ear it was a go! You’re the only big dog I’ve given my trust to and that’s because you deserved it. Such a beautiful, smart and loving pup you were I’d never seen a German Shepard like you and I don’t think I ever will. I’m proud to say you’re the only bear I’d choose 🫶
Beautiful story about a beautiful soul. No words can say how sorry I am that he’s no longer physically with us but he will always be loved, missed and remembered in our memories and hearts. Love you Bear.
I never met Bear in person because of the many miles between us, but oh the love and care you gave him glows from him in every photo.
The sweetest boy ever… I’m going to miss that big man’s heavy head. He will be remembered forever❤️
Bear, find Giavonna and make her the best doggie friend until you and your momma meet again. It was an honor to meet you and I’m so sad that you won’t get your mommas lovings any more. Just know if you find Gia she will give you rubs until mom gets there. I know you had the most handsome run over the rainbow 🐾
