David Gordon Berry, age 69, died on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017, at his
home in Kingman, Arizona with his wife and children by his side
after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Kandace Ranaee Berry, his
daughter, Belinda Ann Grant, his son, David Edward Berry, and five
grandchildren; Anthony Gordon DeHusson, Madison Chase Grant, Kevin
David Berry, Heather Grace Berry, and Kelly Ranaee Berry.

He was born in Pasadena, California, on July 27, 1947, to Martha
Jean Berry and Clifford Edward Berry.

His father passed when he was 16 years old, and in 1968 Dave was
drafted into the Army and served in the Vietnam War. In 1971 Dave
was honorably discharged and went on to become a police officer
while going to law school in California. After law school Dave
reenlisted in the Army as a Captain working in the JAG office.

Dave was sent to Alaska with the Army where he raised his family. He
spent the next 30-plus years as Land Director for Anchorage, a
lawyer for the Alaska Railroad, and finally as both a city and state
prosecutor. Upon retiring Dave and Kandy relocated to the lower 48
and eventually found their home in Kingman, Arizona. Dave spent his
time here volunteering for the Police Department, working for a
local veterinary office, and working on the Innocence Project.

Dave enjoyed fishing, camping, riding his Harley, tinkering in his
garage, and golfing.

A Celebration of Life is being held on Thursday, March 2, 2017 at
his home in Kingman from 2-8 p.m.
