August 20, 1953 – November 18, 2016
It is with sadness that we announce that our beloved David passed away in Cochrane, at the age of 63.
David is survived by his wife Pattie (Sauve); his three children, Wyatt Milner (Bonnie), Tara Popplewell, and Jerrod Berger (Sara); four grandchildren, Charolette, Julie, Emmett, and Averie; his mother Isabel Butte; his sisters, Theresa (Cathy) Miller and Sheila Berger (Stan); numerous aunts and uncles, brother and sister in laws, nieces and nephews, cousins, and life-long friends Jana and Garry Daignault. David was predeceased by his father George Berger.
David was born and raised in Calgary where he attended St. Francis High School and where he and Pattie started their 40 year romance. After starting a family, Dave and Pattie moved to Cochrane in 1995. Dave worked in the Oil & Gas industry for 25 years and then spent a few years after doing some consulting work prior to his retirement in 2013. Dave and Pattie spent much of their time at the Water Valley Golf Course where they had memberships. As well as being an avid golfer, Dave’s greatest joys in life were his grandchildren. He relished his role in life of being their Papa.
The family wishes to thank the Cochrane Emergency Services for their efforts and care, and also Cochrane Home Care and our wonderful friends and neighbors for their kindness.
