Neal Berwick, 38, of Aurora CO passed away in his home on May 8, 2020. Neal was born July 10, 1981 in
Rochester, NY to parents Martin and Kathleen (Neville) Berwick. Born with only one arm, friends and
family often forgot that fact because he was physically capable of so many things, although in his most
vulnerable moments he hinted that the disability did significantly impact him. Growing up in Kendall, NY,
Neal was an active Boy Scout who enjoyed spending his summers working the waterfront at Camp
Dittmer. He graduated with a Bachelor's of Arts in Philosophy from Middlebury College in Vermont after
spending a study abroad semester in Harbin China. After some difficult years following his parents'
deaths (mother in 2003 and father in 2008), he committed to his sobriety with the help of Alcoholic
Anonymous - reaching 10 years sober several months before his death. Neal enjoyed playing tennis,
and was an avid water and snow skier. His love of downhill skiing directed some of his life decisions
including working at Mad River Glen and more recently moving to Colorado to be close to mountain
terrain and fresh powder. He was a generous person often helping those he cared about. Neal will be
missed by his brother Dan, sister-in-law Darcy, his niece Abby and nephew Griffin. He will also be
lovingly remembered by his aunts and uncles Hannah, Paul, Noreen, Peter, Sandy, Marilyn, and Chris as
well as his cousins Kevin, Brett, Colleen, Katherine, Jacqueline, Brendan, Jennifer, and Zach. A memorial
service will be scheduled once the impacts of the pandemic have lessened. Please visit Neal's memorial page at ApolloFunerals.com
