Berglund, a cherished father, brother, son, and friend, who passed away on February 14, 2025, after a brave battle with health complications. A proud resident of Denver, Colorado, Mark’s life was defined by his dedication to family, his commitment to serving others, and his unwavering resilience in the face of adversity. Though his passing has left a deep void in the hearts of those who loved him, his legacy of love, service, and strength will continue to inspire and guide all who knew him.
A Life of Service and Duty
Mark was born and raised in Denver, where he formed a deep connection to both his community and family. His dedication to service began early in life and was further solidified during his time in the U.S. Navy, where he served aboard the USS Nimitz. Mark took immense pride in his role within the Navy, and his shipmates, including Jeff Cal Callahan, remember him as a true brother in arms—someone who was always reliable, honorable, and deeply committed to the service of his country.
A Loving Father and Brother
At the core of Mark’s life was his devotion to his family. As a father to his two daughters, Mark’s love and care knew no bounds. He worked tirelessly to provide not only for their material needs but also for their emotional and spiritual growth. His daughters were his pride and joy, and he made sure to be there for them through every challenge and triumph, offering them guidance and unconditional love.
Mark’s brother, Dave Bergy, described him as his “big brother” who had always been there to offer support and strength. The bond between the two was incredibly close, and Mark’s loss has left a profound impact on his family, particularly his mother, who will forever mourn the loss of a son whose presence brought so much light into their lives.
A Final Battle with Health Complications
In the weeks leading up to his passing, Mark faced numerous health struggles. After seeking medical help for feeling unwell, his condition rapidly deteriorated. Despite the best efforts of doctors, Mark’s heart failed, and he succumbed to sepsis, which led to the shutting down of his organs. In his final moments, Mark was surrounded by his two daughters, who, with deep love and respect for his wishes, made the heart-wrenching decision to remove life support. This decision allowed Mark to pass peacefully, leaving behind a family that will forever honor his memory.
A Legacy of Kindness, Resilience, and Loyalty
Mark’s legacy is one of kindness, resilience, and unwavering love. He was a man who faced adversity with strength, never backing down from challenges and always putting others first. His friends and loved ones remember him for his loyalty, sense of humor, and genuine care. Whether lending a hand to a neighbor, offering a comforting word, or providing emotional support to those in need, Mark’s selflessness was felt by all who knew him.
His service to both his country and his family reflected the values of honor, duty, and love. Mark’s impact on those around him was profound, and his memory will continue to inspire future generations.
