Scott A. Berg, age 67, found peace on May 26, 2026 after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia. Scott was a loving father, husband and brother.

Born on August 11, 1958 in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin to Andrew and Caroline (nee Vehrs) Berg. He graduated from Nekoosa High School before attending UW-La Crosse, where he studied mathematics and computer science. He received a masters degree in computer science from Iowa State University. Scott married Lois (nee Van Dyke) on August 24, 1986. Early in Scott’s career, he worked for Kimberly-Clark in Neenah, WI. Later, a job at Allen-Bradley brought him to Milwaukee. Scott worked as a Senior Software Engineer until his retirement in 2019, working for companies like GE, Cooper Power, Criticare Systems and many others. His specialty was in development and testing of a wide range of embedded systems software.

Scott was an Alderman for the City of Brookfield, representing residents for over 20 years. Scott contributed to major city developments like the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts and Jaycees Skate Park at Wirth Park. During his tenure, Scott was chair of the Finance Committee, Sewer and Water Board, Board of Public Works and on occasion, fill-in Mayor. Scott always listened to residents’ concerns with care.

Scott enjoyed science fiction movies, birdwatching, reading about current events and stargazing with the Milwaukee Astronomical Society. As a family, Scott, Lois, and their daughters enjoyed road trips around Wisconsin and the Midwest, often celebrating his birthday at the Wisconsin State Fair.

Scott was preceded in death by his father, Andrew Berg; mother, Caroline Berg; and his brothers James (Ellen) and Nicholas (Harriet) Berg, in-laws Gerald and Melrose (Alderden) Van Dyke.

He is survived by his wife, Lois (Van Dyke), daughters Elizabeth Berg and Genevieve Berg, his sisters Susan Debner, Lois (Phil) Stack, Anne (Randy) Arndt, sister-in-law Nola Van Dyke, beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins. Scott is remembered by many other relatives and dear friends.

The Berg family thanks Brighton Hospice and Silverado North Shore for taking care of Scott during his final months.

A private celebration of Scott’s life will be held at a later date, along with a private burial at Randolph Cemetery in Randolph, WI.

Peace be with the Berg family. I was so hoping to see Scott at our 50th year class reunion. Mrs. Berg was my kindergarten teacher. I was going to tease Scott by asking him if he remembered being called "Copper" on the playground during recease, He would walk around the playground sometimes making a sound of a police siren, telling kids what playgroind rule they just had broken. Marlys.

Caroline and girls. I went to school with Scott and his mom was my kindergarten teacher. Scott was such an interesting man. We reconnected a few years ago when I returned to school. He shared many stories with me about his family. He was so proud of you all. He even shared with me the stories of when you got the dog. I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences. Crystal Moore Weis. Class of 76

Hi, so sorry for your loss. Scott was the Valatorian of our class. He took all the difficult classes. I was the Salutatorian and by no means in his level of intelligence! Great guy, warm heart and humor! I just lost my husband and as my husband, has had quite a battle. Keep the faith and strength . Terri (Kouba) Harvey-Beversdorf

So sorry for your loss. Scott was a great guy. We were kids together in Nekoosa, all the way through high school. VERY smart and ambitious. Well accomplished. Too early to loose him. Rest easy Scott....... Phil Grode Nekoosa High School class of 1976.

Scott will be missed by Brookfield City Hall staff as Scott was thoughtful about Brookfield's future. I wish to express my deepest condolences to Lois and his daughters.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
