Donald Berning Obituary
He retired after working 30 years for Jeep and then worked at Advanced Auto as a parts driver for the last 15 years. He enjoyed camping, dominoes and going to the casino. He was an avid fan of Ohio State and the Red Wings.
He leaves behind his wife, Susan; his son, Matthew; and children, Joanna (Ernie), Patti (Shawn), Donnie; stepchildren, Steve and Sharon; and 5 grandchildren, Casey, Aiden, Emily, Mikayla, and Colin; 3 great-grandchildren; and siblings, Brenda, Connie, Gale, and Tom; and many other extended family members. He will be sadly missed.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in his honor.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

I always enjoyed having Don as a driver. He always kept me laughing. I'll often think of our political debates.

He´d always stopped and talked to while I was walking home from the bus stop and he´d be on his way home from work. I´ll miss you forever Poppy

So many happy memories over the years! Meeting in Vegas so I could lose all my money while watching him win! Playing cards on a Saturday night with our other siblings, family BBQs at your house, and the list goes on and on. I will miss you my brother. Love you always!
