David Allan "Dave" Bergklint's Obituary
David Allan “Dave” Bergklint, age 59, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, November 14, 2024, in Shorewood, IL. He was born on October 18, 1965, in Muskegon, MI to Allan and Christine (Nelson) Bergklint. He graduated from Mona Shores High School in 1984 and then attended Grand Valley State University. He worked in IT sales for Service Express for over 23 years. Prior to that he was in management with Meijer for over 13 years. Early in his career, he relocated to the Chicagoland area.
Dave liked golfing, fishing, and going out on the boat. He also enjoyed gardening and spending time with family by the pool. He liked the finer things in life, whether it was traveling in luxury or his love for Corvettes, but he also was not afraid to look for bargains when grocery shopping and finding the best meat prices. Dave had a tendency to scroll through Facebook extensively and find time in the afternoon to take a nap on the couch. He was also an avid Boston Celtics fan. He loved to cook for his family and tease his girls. Dave will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
Dave is survived by his partner, Gina Bruck; children, McKenna Guertin, Caleigh Guertin and Andie Bergklint; mother, Christine Bergklint; and sister, Char Espinoza. He was preceded in death by his father, Allan.
