Beverley Berrington

It is with heavy hearts that the Berrington family announce the peaceful passing of Beverley William Berrington on April 4, 2026 at the age of 84. 

Bev grew up in Inglis, Manitoba, the second son of Len and Bertha Berrington. He grew up with his siblings Cyril, Iris, Rod and Josie and attended school there before pursuing a career in hockey. 

He left for Flin Flon where he played for the Flin Flon Bombers while working for Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting. From there, he decided to return to school. While at Teachers College he met two Dominion City boys, Ed Thom and Al Braemer, who coaxed him to play hockey for the DC Flyers. Lorne Ramsey, General Manager of the team at the time, was on the school board. Bev accepted a job at the Dominion City School, starting out in elementary school and then moved up to high school where he excelled. He loved his career as a teacher and served also as a Vice Principal, Principal, and sports coach during his 36 years of teaching. He gained so much respect from his students and was told regularly that he was the best teacher they ever had. 

This handsome guy also won the heart of a local girl, Shirley Boutet. They married in 1965, and raised their family of 3, Darcy (Eun Young), Damon (Debbie), and Deidre (James). He was a devoted father, coach, and teacher to them.
