We mourn the passing of Gilbert Michael "Mike" Berry, beloved father, husband, brother, and grandfather. Born October 9, 1946 in Louisville to Gilbert and Marjorie Berry, he passed away January 29, 2024 at the age of 77.
Predeceased by his brother Chuck, he's survived by his life's love, Priscilla, whom he met on a blind date, and was married to for 57 years. Survived by his daughters, Angela Brummett (James) & Lisa Babcock (Jeff).
Mike was born and raised in Kentucky, and lived there his whole life, minus a brief tour of duty with the Navy, until moving to Florida to be near kids and grandkids. He was grandfather to Jonathan, Jared, Justin and Amanda Brummett, Jonathan Babcock, and a handful of furry grand babies.
Mike loved his dog, Beau, with all his heart. He loved to fish and hunt with his brother. Loved Kentucky Basketball. Loved God and served the church as an elder, deacon and treasurer. He was a man of few words, and had a quiet sense of humor.
He was always a hard worker, and retired from General Motors after 35 years. In retirement, he loved to travel and visit friends and family. Mike served as an E-3 Seaman in the Navy, and was a true patriot. His presence will be missed for a long time to come.
