Levy E "Joe" Berry III

Levy E. “Joe” Berry III, 85, was born February 10, 1941, in Springhill, Louisiana, and passed away June 29, 2026. Joe made his home in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he lived with steady faith and a deep devotion to those he loved most.

Joe graduated from Springhill High School, where he played football, and went on to earn a B.S. Degree in Business from Louisiana Tech. While at Louisiana Tech, he was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha. He also served in the Coast Guard Reserves, a reflection of the quiet sense of duty that marked his life.

In the rhythms of everyday life, Joe’s presence was constant and dependable. He regularly attended LSU football games with his buddies, never missed a chance to be at his daughters’ performances in the Caddo Cuties Marching group, and faithfully attended all of his grandchildren’s sporting events. He cherished the fellowship of the Tuesday Morning Bible Study men’s group at Denny’s and found joy in welcoming others as a door greeter every Sunday morning at Brookwood Baptist Church.

Joe also gave his time to the community in ways that were practical and unassuming, coaching for the Brookwood Athletic Association and serving for many years as a team host for the Independence Bowl. In all things, Joe remained a quiet, humble man whose greatest joy was loving and caring for his family—a legacy of steady kindness that will continue to be felt for generations.
