Berkley Dean Homer was born June 8, 2001, in Wenatchee, Washington. Berkley and his parents - Eric Homer and Bettyjean Cabe - and three older siblings lived in Ephrata, Washington. At age 4, Bettyjean and her four children moved to Redmond, Washington, where Berkley attended Rockwell and Horace Mann Elementary schools, Redmond Junior High, and Redmond High School, graduating in 2019. He excelled in many sports, especially basketball, baseball and football. Berkley and friends also enjoyed making humorous videos and posting them online. This became a passion which yielded a podcast series called "The Sync" (later turning into "WethePub"), eventually gaining more than a million followers. The Sync crew relocated to Los Angeles in August 2020 to pursue online content creation as a profession. In 2022, Berkley successfully pivoted his career to use his influencer skills in the music industry, helping record labels garner larger audiences for new releases. Berkley's zest for life was infectious and was the main reason he succeeded professionally and personally. He lit up every room he walked into. On January 25, 2024, Berkley had a seemingly minor snowboarding injury that, for reasons still not fully understood, tragically became a bacterial infection that took his life on February 12, 2024, while being treated at a hospital in Tucson, Arizona. Berkley was surrounded by loving family and friends at his passing. He is survived by his mother Bettyjean Cabe (Shawn Byrnes), father Eric J. Homer (Jennifer D. Homer), sister Madison Homer, brothers Chandler and Callahan Homer, step-brothers Hunter and Aleck Byrnes, half-siblings Rogan and Raegan Homer, step-siblings Brianna Jones and Nathan Otte, maternal grandmother Lois Yvonne Cabe, and paternal grandparents A. Lynn and Gladys Homer.
