Charles ‘Chuckie’ David Bergman – West Newton
Charles “Chuckie” David Bergman, formerly of West Newton, passed peacefully on Feb. 26, 2024, in Savannah, Ga., at the age of 71, surrounded with steadfast love from his wife and his daughter. He was born on Nov. 19, 1952, in McKeesport. He was a loving, devoted son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was a disabled veteran who proudly served in the U.S. Marine Corps. Chuckie’s greatest joy in life was spending time with his family. In his adult life, he was always present for his children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren. He was very kind and generous, a “would give the shirt off his back” kind of guy. He enjoyed going to the horse track and playing games of chance. An avid football fan, Chuckie loved watching his favorite football team — the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles E. and Betty D. Waltonbaugh Bergman; an infant brother, Todd E. Bergman; nephew, Nicholas A. Aitken; and great-grandson, Nelson D. Jenks IV. He is survived by his wife, Donna D. Lynn Bergman; daughters, Jennifer (Bill) Burfield and Melissa Bergman; and stepson, Joseph Arnold. “Pappy” will forever be missed by his grandchildren, William, Alexis, Brittany, Krysta, Breanna, Madelyn and Heather; as well as by his great-grandchildren, Gracie, Lydia, Sage, Elias, Axel and a great-granddaughter due in June. Chuckie will forever be remembered by his siblings, Peggy D. (John) Coffer, Linda E. (Nick) Hulyk, Donna J. Bergman, Tamara J. (Bart) Aitken, John E. (Ting) Bergman and Debra S. (Jesse) Carse; five nephews, four nieces and many great and great-great nephews and nieces. A celebration of Chuckie’s life will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, March 4, 2024, at FAMILIES FIRST CARE CHAPEL at 1328 Dean Forest Road, Savannah, Ga. In lieu of flowers, donations are being accepted by National Coalition of Homeless Veterans, 1001 Connecticut Ave., NW Ste. 840, Washington, DC 20036, https://nchv.org/ways-to-give/.
