Introducing Jack Berg, an inductee in this year's Huntsman World Senior Games' Hall of Fame:
Jack Berg embodies the core spirit of the Huntsman World Senior Games through decades of multi-sport competition, dedicated leadership, and selfless service. Jack first discovered the Games in the mid-1990s alongside his late wife, Dee. A versatile athlete, Jack has competed across three decades in table tennis, social golf, shot put, horseshoes, and 3-on-3 basketball, earning bronze medals in table tennis and basketball.
Beyond his athletic participation, Jack has served as a Softball Assistant Director and Field Supervisor for a decade. Traveling from Nebraska to St. George on his own dime to volunteer, Jack is universally beloved by athletes and officials for his warmth and for sharing his famous homemade peanut brittle with participants. His devotion honors a promise to Dee, who found deep comfort and joy competing in tennis and swimming during her battle with terminal breast cancer.
Outside the Games, Jack’s lifetime of leadership includes nearly 14 years as Mayor of Bridgeport, Nebraska, 14 years on the school board, eight years on city council, and over 60 years in the Lions Club. Jack models integrity, service, and enduring friendship, creating a welcoming community for all.
