Lucas Adam Bergerson, age 42, of Northfield, Wisconsin, passed away unexpectedly
on June 20, 2025.
Lucas was born in Beaver Dam and raised in Northfield, WI, the beloved son of Lonny
(Gilles) and Clark Bergerson. He grew up surrounded by the love of his siblings: Dustin
and (Jill) Bergerson, DeAnn and (Dale) Buechel, and Cari Bergerson and (Craig Eklov)
Lucas was known for his incredibly kind heart, contagious smile, and unforgettable
laugh. He had a special place in his heart for Kwik Trip and dedicated many years to
serving his community through his work at Menards for 12 years, Sysco Foods, and
Family Farms. He will be remembered not just for his big laugh and bigger heart, but for
the way he made people feel — seen, loved, and welcomed. He didn’t need grand
achievements to leave a legacy. He did it with his presence, his humor, and the deep
love he gave so freely.
Above all, Lucas was a devoted father who would do anything for his children Noelle,
Aryanna, Lyrik, Ethen, and Peyten. His love for them knew no bounds, and he
continuously sought ways to connect with them. He even took swimming lessons to
share in their joy and create lasting memories together. Whether he was telling a terrible
dad joke, making funny faces just to get a smile, or showing up in every way that
mattered, he brought light and laughter into their lives. He loved deeply, and his goofy,
tender-hearted nature made him a safe place for his kids and everyone who knew him.
Lucas shared a loving life with his fiancée, Sara Ruff, whose partnership and friendship
brought him strength, joy, and a future full of plans and possibilities.
He is survived by his parents, Clark and Lonny Bergerson, his siblings Dustin (Jill)
Bergerson, DeAnn (Dale) Buechel, and Cari Bergerson (Craig Eklove), and his kids
Noelle, Aryanna and Lyrik Bergerson and Peyten and Ethen Ruff, and goddaughters
Lilah Bergerson and Emerald Johnson. Lucas also had many cherished nieces and
nephews.
Lucas is preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Howard Gilles, his paternal
grandparents, Olgert and Bertha Bergerson, his paternal aunt Louise Johnson, and his
cousin Kevin Bergerson.
Though gone far too soon, Lucas leaves behind a lasting impact on all who were
blessed to know him. His memory lives on in the stories we tell, the lessons he taught,
and the deep love he gave to his family and friends.
