I am so sorry for your loss. Berk had been a member of Lakeside UMC since 2018 and he attended when he could until moving to Chesterfield.
If a family member would like to reach the pastor the telephone number for the church is 804-266-7016. Please leave a message as the church is not staffed full time during this pandemic.

Berk and I worked together for seven years, running the Christ Ascension food pantry at the corner of Laburnum and Hermitage. He was absolutely wonderful with our clients, and I greatly enjoyed working with him. We remained friends and in contact, even after I moved to Florida. I certainly will miss seeing him when I make my annual trip to Richmond! Liz Deane
