Adam Berger Obituary

Berger, Adam Max Resident of Chicago, IL, formerly of San Francisco and Milwaukee, passed away on April 1, 2014, at the age of 44. Beloved son of Mara Berger and David (Cindy) Berger. Dearest brother of Audra and Jessica. Loving grandson of Ciporah Zeitlin and Loren Cherny. Also survived by his adoring aunts, uncles, and cousins. After earning a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Adam eagerly ventured to San Francisco where he was an expert website designer for over ten years. Thereafter, a higher calling prompted him to change his vocation and embark on a career in nursing. At the time of his passing, Adam was completing his Master of Science in Nursing at Rush University in Chicago. He was a compassionate and altruistic man who touched everyone through his kindness, music, and friendship. He had a passion for music and a gift of playing the guitar and singing. Adam's joyful smile, vibrant soul, and heart of gold will forever live on in the memories of all those who knew and loved him. Graveside funeral service at 10:00 AM on Friday, April 4, at Mound Zion Cemetery, 14510 W. North Ave. in Brookfield. Shiva following at the home of Jason and Sara Cherny in Mequon from 12:00 until 4:00 PM. Please call the Feerick Funeral Home for address.
