John T. Berg

John Thomas Berg, age 66, of Stevens Point, WI, passed away on Friday, March 20, 2026, in Naples, FL, surrounded by family.

John was born in Saint Paul, MN, on November 18, 1959, the eldest son of Tom and Mary (Vullings) Berg. He was raised in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Throughout his life, John shared fond memories of regular family gatherings in Edgar, WI. He also enjoyed spending time with his grandparents and great-grandparents at the Willow Resort in Tripoli, WI.

John enjoyed hunting and fishing with family in northern Wisconsin, traveling throughout the U.S. and Europe, cheering on the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins, and voraciously consuming books, music, and movies. He was almost invincible at cribbage and Trivial Pursuit. John had several careers that he spoke of with pride, including landscape architecture and mortgage loan brokering. He was easy-going and personable, and he loved forming close relationships with coworkers and clients alike. His intelligence, sense of humor, and empathy were evident in his relationships with friends and family.

John is survived by his daughters Kate (Joel) Miller of Zumbrota, MN and Abby Berg (Mother Abbess Mary Bede) of Hagendorn, Switzerland, and their mother, Lori Gooden; his grandson, Kyson; his mother, Mary Berg, of Stevens Point, WI; sisters Monica Berg and Stephanie (Clayton) Seavers, and brother Michael Berg, all of Stevens Point; nephew Max (Nicole) Berg, great-nephew Mathew, nieces Amber Pierce and Rachael Berg, and great-nieces Averie and Aleena Pierce, all of Stevens Point. He was preceded in death by his father, Tom Berg, sisters Betsy and Theresa, and his grandparents.
