Bradly Berg
September 9, 1953 — June 18, 2024
On June 18
th
, 2024, the world decided that it needs one less clown to grace these comedic lands.
Bradly “trouble” Berg passed away unexpectedly at Mayo Clinic in Eau Claire, WI.
He came into this world on September 9
th
, 1953 as a roaring child to parents Hilda and Werner.
He battled pneumonia as a child,
to which his mother stated that she didn’t think he would make it through his first birthday. The doctors must have been confused, as for the next 70 years Brad was able to prove the higher beings wrong.
He was proceeded in death by his mother, Hilda, and father, Werner. He is survived by many loving family members and friends who have joined together to mourn his passing.
Brad was a prankster throughout his life and loved to relish in stories about putting green dye in his eggs for his fellow national guardsmen or honking his horn and waving to random fields to see how many of his children will fall for it.
Brad was blessed with 3 wonderful children and 3 amazing grandchildren which I am sure the world can attest to.
Brad spent his the last two decades with his darling and caring companion, Kathy.
Brad was survived by 3 children (and their spouses), Bradly (Beth), Brett, and Dena (Andy).
As for those amazing grandchildren, Brad would have sold a kidney, his big clown shoes and at least 1/4 of his Badgers, Packers, and Brewers memorabilia to make Laura, Stella and Grant happy.
Brad always had plenty of hobbies. He was a pig roasting pit master and a flatwork concrete side jobber all while being a heavy machine operator for the City of Chippewa Falls, WI.
Brad was a graduate of Clown Camp in La Crosse, Wisconsin and spent many of summers entertaining boys and girls at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair in Chippewa Falls.
Brad decided that retirement wouldn’t slow him down so he continued to travel to the south for good portion of every winter and also shared some good time with his friends at the local watering hole.
Brad didn’t want a funeral nor did he want an obituary but gosh darn it he got this well written prose to usher him to the afterlife.
Brad would request that you raise a favorite beverage, preferably an adult one, and toast the wonderful times and memories that you have of him.
In lieu of a funeral, there will be a “celebration” of life (as that’s what he enjoyed most). Planned for September 7
th
, 11am to 4pm, at the Lake Hallie Sportsman Club.
Cremation Society of Wisconsin, Altoona is assisting the family. Online condolences may be shared at
