Alfred L. Berry, age 62 of Ozark, Missouri, beloved husband, father, uncle and great uncle passed away peacefully Saturday, July 20, 2024, after a long battle with a brain aneurysm. At the time of his passing, he was a patient at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri and surrounded by his children and wife. Al was born May 21, 1962, the son of the late Alfred B. and Sue (Jenkins) Berry and a brother to Alan Berry of Ozark, Missouri.

In 1980, Al graduated from Ozark High School and later in May 1992, he was united in marriage to Debbie Garcia. Their marriage was blessed with two beautiful boys, Beau Berry of Ozark and his partner Cj Stutzman, and Elijah Ben Berry of Ozark and his girlfriend Lacey Jo Inman. Al will be remembered by his many nieces, nephews and cousins whom he loved each one with his whole heart.

As a Construction Superintendent, Al traveled extensively with many companies and always enjoyed finding new spots to fish and hunt. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved anything to do with the outdoors. He also loved old Westerns and watched them often when his health prevented him from being outside.

Al is lovingly survived by his wife Debbie, his son Beau of Ozark, his son Elijah of Ozark, a sister-in-law and brother-in-law Betty and Danny Shaw, as well as Tom and Susie Avant all of Chickasha, Oklahoma; Neil and Bess Garcia of Ridgway, Colorado, Bj and Angela Garcia of Georgia, Albert and Glenda Ochoa of Colony, Oklahoma; he is also survived by many uncles from the Berry family, JM and wife Carolyn Berry, Ted and Alice Thornton, Ferrell Wayne Berry, Jerry and Kay Doubek. Al was loved by a huge family on both sides and loved by many in his hometown of Ozark, Missouri. In addition to his parents, Al was also preceded in death by father-in-law Manual Garcia, mother-in-law Esther Garcia, along with Jr. Garcia, whom he considered his brother.

The celebration of life services for Al will be held at 6:00 P.M. Saturday, August 17, 2024, in the family home in Ozark, Missouri. Online condolences may be shared at www.barnesfamilyfunerals.com.

    Debbie, Beau, and Levi
    My heart is breaking for you all. We went through the bad news together when the aneurysm was found. The worry you had with you being here and Al in Colorado. Your sweet brother went to be with Al at the hospital that he drove his self to because you had to be here. A very stressful time for you and the boys.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
