John Kendrick Berry

I remember Mr. Berry from Garinger H.S. as one of the BMT's he always had a smile and a positive outlook on life and encouraged ALL students to do the right thing. I ALWAYS looked up to him and loved him like a dad... Mr. Berry, thank you for believing in me!

My condolences to you and your family. May the God of comfort be with you all during this difficult time. (2 Cor. 1:2-4)

This lost hit me hard because I've known for The Berry family for most of my life as fellow Hidden Valley residents. His sister, Wanda, braided my hair as a child and was a sitter to my cousins and me. Then John and I became classmates at Northeast and Myers Park(Class of 89.) He always had a great sense of humor and I will always remember that. My deepest condolences and prayers to the family for strength, peace and comfort. RIP John- you are missed and will never be forgotten!

Cousin Cousin, Cousin...I am at a COMPLETE loss for words. Your sweet gentle soul will never be forgotten and the world as we know it will never be the same. Just to hear one more laugh, see you smile & crack a joke..one last family reunion. We will miss you tremendously and forever cherish the times we had with you! Love you cuzzo!

My condolences go to the Berry family. I had the opportunity to meet "Big John" at Fayetteville State University and played football with him. He was a great guy to be around and he always said something to make you laugh. John will truly be missed. Thanks for all the rides to the dining hall in the big gray four door Buick. RIP until we meet again.

I was very sorry to hear of John's passing. My condolences to the family. The loss of a love one is the saddest of occasions. My prayer is that God will provide comfort and strength at this time and as the days come.

Our condolence to the family. I will always remember the first time I meet John. He was so full of jokes that my sister and I laughed so hard and continued to laugh long after he had left the house. John will be missed by so many. If my son could be here he would definitely be standing by his sister Katrina. John was like his big brother and Katrina his big sister. Katrina I know this is not easy, but trust that God is to wise to make a mistake. May God comfort your heart and keep you through...
