Obituary: To create art with all the passion in one's soul is to live art with all the beauty in one's heart. -Aberjhani-

Artist.Writer.Performer.Raconteur.Friend

He was an Ambassador of Happiness. - Owanza
He was a genius. - Ellen
He lived life in Technicolor in what could be a black & white world. - Priscilla
He lived his life to the fullest. - Tony
He was the most interesting man I ever met. - Bruce
He was a magical leprechaun with an all-knowing wink, humor and talent which we were lucky he shared with the rest of us mere mortals. - Steve

So many words have been used to describe Charles Berendt and his life and yet none can really do him justice (not to mention all his past lives). It would take unlimited prose to describe his visionary and totally unique art. More could be said of the countless, riveting performances he gave in regional and stock theater companies nationwide. And, no words are adequate enough to convey his youthful presence, energy, humor and friendship.

Born in Chicago, Charles was creative from birth. seeing the world in the U.S. Navy, he excelled as a window display designer in New York City. Even Salvador Dali recognized Charles creative talent and complemented him on one of his displays upon visiting the jewelry store where Charles worked.He also created amazing interiors for homes and businesses as well as sets for plays and films in New York, L.A., Santa Fe and Denver.

Charles loved all things Shakespearean and performed a multitude of roles in his plays, including Cassius in Julius Caesar at the Globe Theater in L.A.He also performed with George C. Scott in Sly Fox at the Shubert Theater and with Cloris Leachman at the National Science Fiction Radio Theater. making his home in Denver, Charles continued to perform as he said, just for fun. A local Denver paper review said this of his performance as the Mayor in Gogals Inspector General,

The best performance belongs to Charles Berendt as the mayor. With his bushy gray mane, he struts and pounces around the stage, a tiger one moment and a frustrated monkey the next. He has a knack for gestures that underscore his characters nasty intentions, and he gives his performance enough grit to grate.
Westword, 1997

In later years, Charles focused on creating amazing furniture and visual art, primarily from seemingly innocuous buttons and beads. Many of his artworks were featured in interior design magazines and sold around the country. One of his many stunning pieces is Iverskaia Mother of God, which he considered his masterpiece (detail below).



(39 1/2"x 45", 4,290 buttons, 584 beads, 125 ft of brass ball chain, real seed pearls).

Most recently, Charles was working on a novel, set in Elizabethan times and had finished another chapter only days before he departed. Charles loved having a community and was loved in turn by many around the country and especially in the Denver Capitol Hill neighborhood. He held court most s at a local café, telling jokes, critiquing movies and expounding on existential thoughts. The raucous laughter emanating from the café could most likely be heard for blocks.

Too many people will dearly miss Charles and his passion for life. He lightened the day for many; brought beauty into many lives and inspired many to truly live life. Charles believed this short time we knew him was not his only time on this planet. And, as he told his dear friend Owanza, he only wished for his epitaph to read:

Ill be right back.

Obituary: Ricks parents Ola and Anna Berby immigrated directly to the United States from Norway and lived in Duluth Minnesota where Rick was born and graduated from Central High School in 1944.
Rick was appointed to the U. S. Naval Academy in 1945 where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, became an officer, and went on to serve as a naval pilot and flight instructor serving in Pensacola Florida, and Hawaii during the Korean War.
Rick married Joan Luscher in 1954, and they later moved to Saratoga CA.
his military service, Rick earned an MBA at the University of Santa Clara, worked for Kaiser Permanente, and was the Director of Government Affairs for Kaiser Cement at the time of his retirement in 1988.
Rick loved participating in outdoors pursuits. In the San Francisco Bay Area he flew his own plane, was an avid sailor on San Francisco Bay, and also enjoyed hang gliding, downhill skiing, and golf.
In 1988 he retired and moved to Sun Valley Idaho where he became an active member of the community participating in the Sun Valley Ski Club, Masters Skiing, sailing at Redfish Lake, entertaining friends from out of state, and playing golf. He also actively participated in Toastmasters and bridge.
At one point he pursued the warmer climate of Florida, but after a while there he returned to his favorite place, Sun Valley.
In 2011 Rick suffered a serious stroke and was unable to pursue his favorite physical activities after that.
He moved to Colorado to live near his daughter Karen. Rick was very disciplined and lovingly supported by family and friends to work at recovery, but he was never able to regain his ability to do the active physical things he loved, and unable to return to Sun Valley.
He is survived by his daughter Karen Berby; two grandchildren Johnny and Kelsea Jo Pellouchoud; his sister Ann Berby DeVogt of Lexington VA; and his brother John Preston Berby of Carmichael, CA and their families.
Rick was predeceased by his parents, his wife, and two daughters, Pamela Berby and Kim Berby. Commemorative gatherings will be held in the summer of 2016 at the Madronia in Saratoga CA, and in Sun Valley ID.
Condolences may be left at the online guestbook at www.cristmortuary.com.
