Charles Louis Bergren

Charles Louis Bergren , age 72, formerly of Muskegon, died Thursday, November 12, 2020, at MediLodge of East Lansing.

Charles was born in Saginaw, Michigan, on January 5, 1948.  He was adopted by Walter and Mildred (Goudsward) Bergren.  He loved working on cars, and was an excellent body man and mechanic.  His talents led to him working in body shops.  Though he was a hard worker and always kept busy, he did love spending time fishing out on Lake Michigan.  He also enjoyed giving tours of Muskegon to family and friends as they visited him there, often taking them to places in Muskegon they had never seen before.

Charles is survived by his grandsons, Jared Scott Bergren and Jordan Spencer Bergren; his ex-wife, Bonita L. Smith; and his best friends, Lawrence P. Smith, Gloria Baker, and Ronda at MediLodge.  He was preceded in death by his parents; his daughter, Micah Shawn Rene’ Bergren; his son, Joel Bergren; and his sister, Joyce Bergren Bratsberg.

The family is being served by the Barden Funeral Home in Ithaca.  Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.bardenfunealhome.com.
