He ended his time in Lincoln as an Assistant Manager at Wilderness Ridge. David moved to Minnesota to further his career and was employed at Restaurant Technologies. There he met Jacky Peterson, and they welcomed a son named Nash Lee Berry in 2019. He found opportunities with Legend Companies allowing for more time with his son, Nash, which he greatly valued.
David loved sports, especially Vikings and the Huskers! He was a devoted father and loved creating memories with his son. He was a very giving person, had a big personality, loved life, family, and friends. He will be missed by all who know him. His last gift was that of organ donation that went on to save four lives.
