Michael Berkowitz Cannes, France Death, Obituary – Michael Berkowitz, co-founder and partner at Greenlight Group, a leading entertainment management firm, died in his sleep from a medical event while on business in Cannes, France. He was 26.
A graduate of the Landon School and Berklee College of Music, Michael was a creative visionary, beloved son, and devoted brother. He was known for his ability to connect with others through humor, empathy, and curiosity. Whether strumming a guitar, closing a deal, or lighting up a room, he brought his full, joyful self.
As a rising force in the entertainment world, Michael helped shape the careers of top digital content creators. At Greenlight Group, he bridged talent and brand with entrepreneurial insight, championing collaboration, creativity, and the next generation of digital storytellers.
Michael’s life was grounded in deep love for his family and a passion for building community. He lived boldly, traveled widely, and gave generously of his time and energy. Colleagues remember him as a tireless advocate, a trusted partner, and an inspiring presence.
“Ministry isn’t simply what a priest does; it’s what God does for others through him—and for him through others.”
Michael’s impact extended far beyond his years. To know him was to feel fortunate; to work with him, inspiring; to love him, effortless. His absence is profound—but so is the legacy he leaves behind.
A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life will take place on Sunday, June 29, in Northern Virginia. Details to follow.
Michael Berkowitz was, and always will be, a light. We will carry that light forward—always.
