Michael Berg

When we were kids I can remember the family's love for hockey. I used to go to Gears games with them and one memory I have of Mike is that they had an ice rink in their backyard. As he and Dan were playing hockey one day, Mike hit the puck a little too hard and hit my dad square in the face with the puck, broke his nose. At the time it wasn't too funny but to think back on the scene,seeing Mike and Dan freaking out thinking they were in trouble, watching Pat run outside to see if my dad was okay and my dad saying it was okay they are just kids and accidents happen, was priceless. Mike was quite relieved and glad he was not in trouble. They moved away and we lost track of each other, but I will always fondly remember The Berg Family, for they were the first friends we had in our lives. RIP Mike and hugs to the family, may you find peace in this time of sorrow. Jenni (Burden) Acker

I am saddened to hear of the passing of this great guy. My sincere condolences to the family. I hung out with Mike at SSPP. We were teammates on the football team, manning the trenches. He was a real good player, a man amongst boys who always gave his best effort. I remember hanging out in the commons playing euchre; in which he was a master at. Great times, great memories!

Many good memories of Mike. The world has lost a great father, brother, husband and friend. As a teenager my first memory of Mike is of Mrs Berg always saying. " Mike put some clothes on Jenny is here" time and time again ,as I believe Mike used to like to hang out a lot in his underwear. We were never allowed in his bedroom either, but every once in a while we could go in and look at all the fish in the big fish tank in his room. A few years passed then remember when he had Brian, what a beautiful baby he was and how we adored him. As an adult I remember many Fridays and Saturdays hanging out in Chris' back yard or laying by the pool at Mikes apartment, listening to music, drinking a few beers and many laughs. Of course Chris and Mike were always shopping for Hot wheels on Saturday and occasionally I joined them You will be missed Mike. Jenny Florence
