Obituary: Peter Reeves Berg
By Deseret News
Apr 30, 2000, 2:00am EDT

MTN. GREEN - Peter Reeves Berg, our beloved husband, father, son, brother, colleague, neighbor, and friend, unexpectedly returned to live with his spirit brothers and sisters in heaven on April 27, 2000. Pete was 43 years of age.

Upon leaving an enjoyable family birthday celebration dinner for P.J. (Pete's son) the family's continued plans on this earth all changed in an instant. Pete died valiantly by purposely drawing the attention of a desperate man away from his precious daughter and towards himself. Pete's fun loving, easy going manner, his ability to make us laugh, his generosity and kindness, and his willingness to extend a helping hand to all, marked him as an exceptional man in this turbulent world. All who had the opportunity to get to know Pete will miss him deeply.

He was born May 17, 1956 in the Navy Hospital at Jamacia, Queens, NY to Walter and Ann Berg. He grew up in Cazenovia, NY. He married Loydene Hubbard on January 19, 1980. They were sealed as a family in the Salt Lake Temple. They along with their children, P.J. and Whitney, have lived in Mountain Green for the past 12 years.

Surviving are his wife, Loydene; son, P.J.; daughter, Whitney; parents, Walter and Ann Berg; and brothers, Doug (Stephanie), Dwight (Pam).

He served in the French East mission, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. Since his mission he has continued to serve in various callings: teacher in the primary, scouts, young men, and most recently as a councilor of the Cottonwood Creek Elders Quorum Presidency. All who had the privilege to know Pete have been touched by his kindness and sense of humor. Pete's home was open to friends and any in need. His success in business stemmed from an uncompromising work ethic, attention to individual's needs, and honesty. Many of his business relationships became lifelong friends.

Despite suffering a crippling motorcycle accident, Pete surpassed doctors' expectations to enjoy mountain biking, water and snow skiing, basketball, and golf. When one remembers Pete, instantly a smile comes to their face and warmth enters their heart. With the unending help of our loving Father in Heaven, those of us who remain will continue to live our lives with greater hope, faith, and charity. We joyfully anticipate the day we will live together as an eternal family.

Those who wish to contribute to the Berg Children Memorial Trust Fund may do so at any branch of Barnes Banking Co. or First National Bank of Morgan.

Services will be Wed. May 3, 2000 at 11 a.m. in the Mountain Green Chapel, 4166 W. Old Highway Road. Friends may call at the church Tuesday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. and Wednesday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Interment, Mtn. Green Cemetery. Funeral Directors, Walker Mortuary, Morgan, UT.

Carlo Stolze

Birth Date: 1955-11-21
Graduation year: 1974
Deceased Date: 2023-02-09
Obituary:
Carlo was born in Rome, Italy on November 21, 1955. He graduated from Cazenovia High School in upstate New York in 1974 and then from State University of New York at Oswego in 1978. Carlo travelled across the country with friends to the San Francisco Bay area, where he initially worked in accounts management at several financial institutions. He eventually became vice president of sales for Chronic Disease Solutions and then Director of Marketing and Product Development at Health Services Foundation.

Much of his early life was an adventure - traveling around the world on two separate occasions. Carlo had always been interested in meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. He was a conversationalist, easily striking up conversations with people he would meet. In 1999 on one of his worldwide journeys he met his wife, Oh in Thailand. They began their life together back in California where their daughter Tati was born in 2003, and who became a great source of love and joy in Carlo’s life. She was diagnosed on the autism spectrum and Carlo developed a fierce commitment to her caretaking and well-being.

For the last 20 years Carlo was a caregiver to several important people in his life. Carlo and his brother Ivan supported their father through his end stage of life. Carlo also provided care and support for one of his good friends suffering from early onset Alzheimer’s disease and was generously engaged in his care through his eventual passing.

In June 2022, Carlo embarked on his last adventure - to Africa and Thailand. His goal in Africa was to meet the children of a Rwanda orphanage and determine how he could help with its funding, but he never made it to the orphanage. He developed symptoms and was diagnosed with Glioblastoma in South Africa while staying with a friend in Cape Town who cared for Carlo and facilitated his emergent medical needs in a foreign country.

It was important for Carlo to remain in his home during the last stage of his life. HIs wife Oh and friend Matt provided constant compassionate care for Carlo as the disease progressed. Carlo passed away peacefully on February 9th, 2023.

Carlo built lasting friendships from every chapter of his life and his family appreciates all of your tremendous love and support. He mentioned many times how grateful he was to know so many people who cared so much about him.
