Mr. Berry was born in Mayesville, S.C., on June 17, 1920. He was the son of the late Daniel Arthur Berry and Emma Burns Berry. He was predeceased by four brothers: John L. Berry, Arthur C.

Mr. Berry was a World War II Navy veteran. After his discharge from the military, he continued in service to his country at the Charleston Naval Shipyard. He became the Electrical Battery Supervisor for the shipyard, supporting submarine battery change outs in strategic locations throughout the world. He was recognized as an expert in his field and received many awards during his more than 40 year career.

Mr. Berry lived in Berkeley County most of his life and was a member of First Baptist Church in Moncks Corner. In his later years, he faced many health issues as a true warrior.
