In loving memory of Scott Edward Berg, who passed away peacefully at home on May 14, 2026, after a courageous 11-year battle with Stage 4 Prostate cancer. Born on Mother's Day, May 12, 1957, in Milwaukee, WI, Scott was a beacon of strength and love for his family and friends throughout his life.
Scott was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend. He married the love of his life, Jane Gilbertson, on August 1, 1981, at St. John's ALC Lutheran Church in Rosemount, MN, and they shared nearly 45 wonderful years together. Scott is survived by his beloved wife Jane, his parents Don and Donna Berg, and his cherished children: Joshua, Molly (Scott) Bergman, Tyler, Tom (Cady), and Dan. His legacy lives on through his eight adored grandchildren: Garrett, Gwen, Elise, Kai, Harper, Walker, Colter, and River.
He is also survived by his sister Becky (Gene) Allen, brother Pete (Marie) Berg, brother-in-law Jon (Elizabeth) Gilbertson, and numerous nieces,nephews, and cousins. Scott is reunited in Heaven with his sisters, Ginger Berg, Beth Nelson, mother and father-in-law, Floyd and Margie Gilbertson, sister-in-law Julie Groven, and brother-in-law Jeffrey Gilbertson who predeceased him.
Scott's life was marked by dedication and service. After graduating from Rosemount High School in 1975, he attended Northern Electronic Institute, and served his country in the Army National Guard from 1980 to 1986. He worked as a shift supervisor at N-Ren Corporation, a chemical plant in South St. Paul, and in sales at Crow River Paint, in Dassel, before venturing off on his own with Berg Industrial Sales. Later in life he attended Inver Hills College and Northwestern University. Professionally, Scott found fulfillment in his role as a Product Supervisor at Post Foods in Chaska, MN, and as a Project Supervisor at Blast One based out of Australia and Columbus, OH, where he traveled for days and/or weeks at a time. He had been an active member of the Chemical Coaters Organization and the Gideons, contributing to his community with his skills and compassion.
Travel was one of Scott's greatest passions, and he delighted in exploring both national and international destinations, with Monazlas, Colombia, holding a special place in his heart. His adventurous spirit and love for experiencing new cultures enriched his life and those of his loved ones.
