The Avalanches—who Berman collaborated with in 2012 and 2016—paid tribute on their 2020 album, We Will Always Love You. Filmmaker, Lance Bangs announced a memorial at New York’s Met Breuer Museum, the former location of the Whitney. The Tennessee Titans—Berman's favourite football team—displayed a message on the Jumbotron that read: "Nashville (and the world) will always love David Berman".
