Mia Kirsti Veronica Berg passed away on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at the age of 39. Mia was predeceased by her father, Bob Berg. She is survived by her mother, Arja Berg, and brother, David Berg.

Mia was a bright spark who left a deep impression on anyone who had the good fortune to meet her. A wonderful friend and talented artist, she sparked joy and inspiration for her loved ones. Her life was marked by a unique appreciation for animals, nature, and beauty, which was reflected in her incredible work as a photographer and illustrator. A multiple sclerosis diagnosis eventually led her to participate in fundraising efforts to find a cure, and she inspired many of her friends to join her on Bike MS rides throughout New York. As an avid cyclist, one of Mia's preferred pasttimes were long rides around the city, memorable outings she frequently organized with friends. Her free-spirited, curious nature also made her a world traveler, from studying photography in Paris to road-tripping across the continental US, attending Burning Man, spending time with family in Sweden and Finland, and visiting Mexico, the Czech Republic, Germany, and many, many other places along the way.

Mia was kind, compassionate, and accepting. She loved without judgment. She also had a wildly silly sense of humor all her own that was beyond special and endearing. She was and is so deeply loved by her family and friends. Her spirit lives on as an inspiration, and we would like to celebrate the countless wonderful memories held by those who were fortunate enough to have known her.
