Orrel Edward Berry, beloved father, pops, and friend to all who knew him passed away on April 23rd, 2024 in Norfolk, Nebraska. Orrel was born on January 17th, 1970 in Atchison, Kansas, and leaves a legacy of love and laughter that will be cherished by those he touched.

Orrel- daughter, Cheyenne and grandson Adler were the lights of his life. He adored them both with every fiber of his being and took immense pride in watching Adler turn in to the blossoming little boy he is becoming. He couldn’t wait to teach Stink (Adler) everything he could. Orrel pursued a career in bridge construction and was a devoted crane operator. He was known for his sense of humor. Orrel was passionate about many things like trains, space, and tying knots. He also appreciated music and attended many concerts. He was a savvy individual who always had a random fact to share—like how many tons of paint is on the world's largest crane. The man never met a stranger and had a talent for creating a family out of many friends. He truly loved being Pops. In his free time, he enjoyed tinkering, watching YouTube videos, and fishing.

Orrel was preceded in death by his father and step-mother, Charles and Kathy Berry, and mother Nancy Ann Frad.

He is survived by his daughter Cheyenne (Troy) and grandson Adler. He also survived by his sisters Angie Berry (Robert), Kim Isenberg (Mike), Kris Lewis, Melinda Pattangall, and half siblings Daryl Watson, Randy Watson, Kirk Watson (Donna), along with many other friends and family members. He will be greatly missed by his un-biological brothers and many friends. Orrel loved everybody and everybody loves Orrel!!!!!
