After a gallant fight against cancer, David H. Berrier entered into rest on Sunday, September 2, 2012, peacefully and surrounded by the love of family and friends.

Dave grew up in Jacksonville, Florida and attended Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina before settling in Atlanta, Georgia.  He enjoyed a long career as an accountant and loved his work, colleagues, and clients.  Dave was married for 32 years to his wife, Chris and together they raised 3 children.  Heading up a family of avid sports fans, Dave particularly loved cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs, Atlanta Braves, and Atlanta Falcons.  He also enjoyed walking with the dogs, reading, and working outside in the yard. Dave held a special place in his heart for the people of Quito, Ecuador, who he lovingly served on several mission trips, as well as the members of our nation’s Armed Forces, who he was always quick to greet with a smile, a handshake, and a heartfelt “thank you for your service.”  Dave was a devoted Christian and active member of Grace Fellowship Church, taking great joy in belonging to the Free Birds, as well as the Cancer Care and Mission Care Groups.

Dave is survived by his wife, Christine “Chris” Berrier; three children, Faith, Stephen, and Anna; 4-legged children, Gracie and Huck; sister and brother-in-law, Helen and Tom Nornhold; and 2 nephews, Mark and Jeff Nornhold.
