Brian Robert Berner

Brian Robert Berner, age 51 of Belden, died unexpectedly on Wednesday May 6, 2020 at his home in Belden of natural causes. He was born January 22, 1969 at Osmond, Nebraska the middle child of Robert and Clarette (Kruger) Berner. He grew up in Belden and was heavily involved in Boy Scouts and 4-H during those years. He graduated from Randolph High School in 1987 and began working in Yellowstone National Park. He then attended Chadron State College. He returned to Belden to work in the family business which he managed since 2001 until his death.

Brian married Nicole Schnell on September 6, 1997 at St. Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic Church in Randolph. The couple spent most of their married life in Belden where Brian served on the Village Board acting as Chairman for a number of years, volunteered on the Belden Fire Department and most recently served as the chairman of the Belden Q125 celebration. However, Brian's biggest passion was hunting and fishing. He loved to talk and would often call unexpectedly to chat about lots of topics especially where the fish were biting. If you saw Brian, you usually also saw Manny who spent every day with him at the elevator.

He leaves behind his wife, Nicole Berner and his mother, Clarette Berner both of Belden; a sister, Robin Spence of Norfolk; a brother Brent and Amy Berner of Norfolk. Nieces and nephews: Brooke Spence, Riley and Halle Berner all of Norfolk.

Preceded in death by his father, Bob; his paternal and maternal grandparents.
