Dave Berg

Dave Berg, age 76, of Westby passed away Wednesday, December 6, 2023, at Mulder Healthcare Facility in West Salem. He was born September 19, 1947, to the late Olaf and Verna (Engh) Berg.

Dave was active in every sport all throughout high school including basketball, football, and baseball. After graduation, he attended Luther College in Decorah, IA and played basketball, and then transferred to UW-La Crosse, attending there until enlisting in the U.S. Air Force. When Dave was discharged from the military, he moved to Burbank, CA, where he worked at Viking Insulation for his uncles, Richard Engh and Harley Engh. In the mid-80s, Dave and his wife owned a bar in Kenmare, ND for a few years, but then moved back to California. In 2008, Dave moved back to Westby to be near family. By doing so, he rekindled old friendships from high school, especially with his good friend, Susie.

Dave was an avid golfer; he and his golfing buddies loved teeing off at Snowflake Ski Club and Viroqua Hills Golf Course. He enjoyed visiting Old Towne Inn for a good meal and spending time with his many cousins in the area. Sadie, his loyal pet companion, stayed faithfully by his side until the last few months. Whether with friends or family, he made sure to savor every moment and enjoy life during his retirement.

Dave is survived by his daughter, Shelley Berg; his brother, Charlie (Julie) Berg; his nephew, Evan (Kelci) Berg; his niece, Jena (Dave) Doucette; his great-nieces, Elsa, and one on the way; as well as several cousins and good friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his dog, Sadie.

A graveside with full military honors will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Our Savior's Cemetery in Westby. A Celebration of Life will follow the graveside from noon until 3:00 p.m. at the Snowflake Clubhouse.
