Lyndel Berry left this world on October 18, 2019, at the age of 71. He was born on May
4, 1948 in Houston, Texas, as the eldest son to the late Norwood and Rosie Mae Berry.
He graduated Salutatorian from C. E. King High School in 1966, and earned his degree
from the University of Houston with a major in Mathematics in 1971. He was a loving
husband, father, grandfather, and brother. He will be greatly missed by Brenda, his wife
of 25 years, and his beloved family that loved him so dearly.
Lyndel was the founder of Clearwater Utilities, and built the firm into one of the largest
underground utility companies in Houston and the surrounding areas. He was a friend
to all who knew him and was a kind and very generous man who helped so many and
asked for nothing in return.
He was the patriarch of the Berry family and will be forever missed by his family and all
who had the privilege of knowing him. Lyndel loved life and he dearly loved his family!
He had a special zest for life and an infectious laugh that brought a smile and joy to all
who knew him. He was so proud of all of his family and the businesses they helped him
build. Lyndel was especially proud of his grandchildren and talked about them
incessantly! He also was active with many of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo
"Quarter Horse" Committees for many years and gave generously to many charities in the
Cypress area.
Lyndel was preceded in death by his Dad, Norwood Abner, his sister Debra Rose and his brother
Norman Glenn.
Lyndel is survived by his mother, Rosie Mae; his wife, Brenda; his brother, Roger and
wife Vickey; his sister, Barbara; his son, Dustin Berry and wife Heather; his daughter,
Kendall and her husband Cale Kobza; his stepdaughter, Kayce and her husband Alan
Wright; his stepdaughter, Krissy and her husband Everett Johnson; and his 10
grandchildren: Elisa and Peyton Berry; Ally, Brett, and Bryson Wright; Braeden and
Brylee Kobza; and Tanner, Shelby, and Sydney Johnson.
Lyndel had so many friends and touched the lives of so many over the years. All who
knew Lyndel know how special he was and he cherished the friendship of each of
them. Well done Lyndel, and Godspeed! We will all rejoice together someday in the
presence of our Lord!
