Obituary of Michael D. Berg

Michael Duane Berg, 52, of Saginaw, Michigan, passed away peacefully on January 15, 2016 in his home surrounded by family after a long, hard fight battling Melanoma Cancer. At his request, no service will be held. Michael's wishes were to be cremated and to have his ashes scattered at his favorite place. Michael was born on March 7, 1963 in Saginaw, Michigan to Duane and Patricia (Eurich) Berg. Michael grew up and graduated from St. Peter and Paul in Saginaw, Michigan in 1981. For many years Michael worked as a Foreman laying telephone cable and for the last five years worked for Utility Contracting. Through their shared love of Euchre, Michael met Victoria (Miller) and fell in love. After 10.5 years, they were married on June 21, 2013 and have been happily married ever since. Michael and Victoria shared a home with their three children and two dogs. They enjoyed playing war games together on the Xbox and cherished their nights spent together, watching episodes of "The Big Bang Theory." Michael enjoyed Salmon, Steelhead and Trout fishing on the Au Sable River, in his custom made Riverman boat, alongside his favorite fishing partners: his brother, Dan Berg and his loveable pup Kobe. He loved working in the yard and collecting Gnomes. He also enjoyed remodeling the property up north in Au Gres. Michael was preceded in death by his parents Duane and Patricia (Eurich) Berg, Aunt Carol (Eurich) Berg, grandparents Walt and Josephine Eurich, and Grandfather Charles Kinkle. Michael is survived by his wife Victoria of Saginaw, Michigan; his son Brian and daughters Ashley and Shawnea of Saginaw, Michigan; his brother Daniel Berg of Bay City, and sister Christine Dilts of Oakley; his grandchildren Haliana and Michael; and his niece Alexis Dilts aka AAD and nephews Justin Tripp and Brandon Weiler; his Grandmother Judy Kinkle; his Uncle Bill Berg Sr.; and his Cousins Bill Berg Jr. (Ann) and JoAnne Kelley (Thom).
