Bernard Kerik, former New York Police Commissioner and 9/11 hero, has died at age 69, the New York Police Department confirmed on Thursday via social media.Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel paid tributes and said, “Bernie passed away tragically on May 29, 2025, after a private battle with illness.” He described Kerik as “a warrior, a patriot, and one of the most courageous public servants this country has ever known.”Patel added, “He was decorated more than 100 times for bravery, valor, and service, having rescued victims from burning buildings, survived assassination attempts, and brought some of the world’s most dangerous criminals to justice.”“His legacy is not just in the medals or the titles, but in the lives he saved, the city he helped rebuild, and the country he served with honor,” Patel said.Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani remembered their long friendship on “The Rudy Giuliani Show.” He said, “We’ve been together since the beginning. He’s like my brother.”“I was a better man for having known Bernie. I certainly was a braver and stronger man,” Giuliani added.
