Gregory Berdugo Obituary

Published by Richmond Times-Dispatch from Oct. 16 to Oct. 17, 2008.
BERDUGO, Gregory Kane. A life cut short, Gregory Kane Berdugo, of Glen Allen, Va., fondly known as Greg, left this earth on October 11, 2008, as a result of a tragic auto accident just three days after his 22nd birthday. Greg was a 2005-graduate of Hunterdon Central High School, Flemington, N.J. More recently he was pursuing a Business Administration degree at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College in Richmond, Va. His parents, Mishela Monce and Richard Berdugo, and his brother, Shaun, ask that you join them for a service to celebrate Greg's life Saturday, October 18, 2008, 11 a.m. at Christ Church Episcopal, 5000 Pouncey Tract Road, Glen Allen. There will be a reception, on the church premises, immediately following the service, at which time the family will receive friends. In honor of Greg's great love of animals and his love of music, the family requests that contributions be made to Greyhound Pets of AmericaRichmond, P.O. Box 70811, Richmond, Va. 23255, which rescues retiring racing greyhounds, or The Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, 15165 Ventura Blvd., Suite 220, Sherman Oaks, California 91043, which provides musical instruments nationwide to music programs lacking resources.

Greg-
I met you only a couple of times, but you were such a sweetheart when we got lost in downtown Richmond trying to find that house, and i'll never forget the patience you had with us! You are in a better place sweetheart, and I will see you again.

There was something about Greg that no matter how frustrated you got at him or how bumbed out you were he ALWAYS made you smile. Greg's presence was just unbelievable. I don't get why such an amazing person had to leave earth so soon, but maybe when I reunite with him I will understand, but until than I will never know. I pray for his family. I hope they know we are all here for them. No matter what time of the day it is. The Berdugo's are greatly loved by all, and Greg you will never be forgotten. Watch over us please. Will take care of your family.

My dear friend please rest in peace. We love you.

Berdugo Family - I stop by the accident site most days on the way home. It is always painful but at the same time it fills me with hope and meaning as I read the loving messages of so many of Greg’s friends. Greg was obviously a special young man, and my faith consoles me that he is safe and protected now. Greg will be dearly missed, but perhaps more importantly, Greg will be remembered. Your son, your brother was a blessing to us all. Our family will remember Greg always. May God’s grace bring you peace in this moment of unthinkable tragedy. Our love and prayers are with you.

I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I only met Greg once, however him and my brother became great friends. Every time I would talk to my brother he would be with Greg. Him and so many others are devastated by his loss. Greg was a great friend to him. He was to young to leave this Earth. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
