Michael Berger, the beloved founder of Technical 420, passed away on Saturday, May 11, 2024, at the young age of 35. Known for his vibrant personality and exceptional skills, Michael was cherished by all who knew him.
Michael's journey began in Miami, where he attended Miami Palmetto High School. He was an avid lacrosse player and made many lasting friendships. Following high school, Michael pursued a degree in finance at Florida State University. During his time at FSU, he was a proud member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, where his fraternity brothers became a second family to him.
Shortly after graduating, Michael joined Raymond James Headquarters in St. Petersburg. He was thrilled to start his career at such a prestigious firm, initially serving as a compliance advisor, a role that had him traveling extensively throughout the Midwest. His dedication and talent soon saw him promoted to business analyst, and eventually, equity research analyst.
However, Michael's entrepreneurial spirit led him to strike out on his own a few years later. He founded Technical 420, where he could fully apply his industry expertise and innovative thinking. His work and leadership at Technical 420 made a significant impact in the financial and investment community.
Michael is survived by his parents, David and Robin Berger, his sister, Melissa Berger, and his beloved girlfriend, Nicole Gruszka. His loss is deeply felt by his family, friends, and colleagues, who remember him as a person who could light up any room and a force of joy and empathy.
In honor of Michael's memory, donations can be made to Bet Shira Congregation, located at 7500 SW 120 St., Pinecrest, FL 33156. His funeral service will be held there on Friday at 11 a.m.
Michael Berger's legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched with his kindness, intelligence, and zest for life.
