Lars Petter Berge, born Saturday May 16, 1981, sadly passed away December 11, 2011.
Lars was the most amazing person you could ever meet. Everyone who knew him says the most wonderful things about him. He was beautiful inside and out. He was witty and exceptionally clever. He was brilliant with words and he had an opinion about everything. He was fun loving and lived life to the fullest. I just can't say enough about him, he was exceptional, one of a kind; he had a great soul and a great big heart.
He loved his family and his friends, and he loved music. He would spend hours listening to music and I believe it was a source of great comfort, enlightenment and inspiration for him. Lars and I shared similar tastes for music; we loved rock n roll, all the classics and greats. Growing up, Lars would always take off with my CDs. I remember especially Pink Floyd's The Wall. I would buy it and he would end up with it. I purchased "The Wall" several times, but it always ended up with him. So one Christmas, Lars returned the favour and bought me Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" as a gift. I still have this CD, Lars loved this CD, and I will forever treasure it. The fifth track of the album is particularly special:
The Great Gig in the Sky
And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind.
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
If you can hear this whispering you are dying.
I never said I was frightened of dying.
My brother was and will always remain one of the most important people in my life. There is not a moment that goes by that he is not in my thoughts. My brother and I shared a bond like no other. We got each other, we understood each other. We grew up together, experiencing many of the same life experiences together. I was a little bit older, so sometimes I went through things first, but Lars grew up quickly and was only a few steps behind me. People say it gets easier with each passing day, but it gets harder as it's further away from the last time I saw or spoke to Lars.
Lars was loved greatly by his family and friends. My parents, my sister, and I are heartbroken that he is not here with us anymore. Our family has been broken and will forever be incomplete. Lars, you were so beautiful and so intelligent and I am trying to process the fact that you are gone but it is so hard. My heart has a hole that can never be filled. You are our life; we miss you more than words can say. You are loved with all our hearts and more.

Lars - you were truly one of a kind. Not a day goes by that Kurt and I don't talk about you - and how much we miss you. The day we lost you I knew our lives would never be the same. You were everything to Kurt - and you meant so much to both of us. You were a family member to us. I remember how much you loved Max, and how great you were to us when we had to put him down. You made it just a bit easier to get through that. We got a new puppy last saturday, and we will make sure he knows all about what a wonderful, giving, caring - and loving person his uncle lars was...an forever will be. You are forever with us...and for that, I am grateful. We love you Lars.
Kate & Kurt

Rest in peace, Lars. I´ll never forget the summers you spent with us in Hof, and your smiling face, fun personality and positive energy. I know you would have met me with the same smiling face if I met you today, even if it´s been ten years since we´ve spoken. I´m so sad that will never happen :`( My condolences to the family.

The Final Flight
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the end of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things too I will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My Life's been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
I love you, always and forver.........Margrethe
