Embarked on his final adventure on December 25th 2024 at the age of 61,in Savannah GA. Born in Salisbury MD, on February 14th 1963 to the late Joseph and Joan Berg. Jeff’s life was a tapestry of love, laughter and adventure. He passed away as a very proud father and the Miami Dolphin’s #1 Fan.
Jeff is survived by his two sons, who he loved more then life itself, Jeffrey C. Berg , Kenneth V. Berg, and beloved stepdaughter, Samantha DeGeorge (Brian). His fur buddies Soy, Bandet and Savannah.
Sibling’s, Kenneth Berg (Linda) of Tx, Joel Berg (Marsha) of Fla, Jan Phipps (Gary), Debbie Sonnier (Dennis) both of MD. He is predeceased in death his sister, Peppi Berg. He is survived by several lifelong friends, who would embark on his journey through life with him, several nieces and nephew who he was a mentor to, especially if he won them over as a Dolphins fan, and aunts, uncles and cousins.
Jeff started his journey after graduating high school from James M. Bennett in1981, leading him to Florida, where he found his true passion in working in the yachting Industry. Owner of Berg’s Yacht Refinishing, working on Mega/Superyachts would take him and his sons all around the world. He would become a MASTER in his trade, with over 40 years’ experience. His love for fishing would be instilled in him as a small child by his grandfather, Clifton (Hots) Savage. Hands down he was the Miami Dolphin’s #1 fan, never missing a game. NASCAR, cooking and music, he was a man of many talents and a perfectionist at all he did in life. You could always find Jeff on Sunday Morning’s watching CBS Sunday Morning listening to the trumpets blow.
So, here’s to JEFF- The Man The Myth The Legend, a man who lived, loved, and left behind a wake of laughter. As he sets sails into the sunset, we imagine him waving, wearing his Dolphins hat with that infectious smile he had, saying “HOW U DOIN” …. reminding us to add a lot of comedy and laughter to our lives. Until we meet again, may your sea’s roll forever.
Jeff was a 30-year donor to St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Donations can be made in his memory at St. Jude.org.
