Obituary
Jack Conner Burdett, II, 74, passed away peacefully at Hospice-Care at CAMC Memorial on May 5, 2021 with his children by his side.
He was preceded in death by: his loving wife, Pamela Ann (Gardner-Coburn) Burdett; his parents, former WV Secretary of State Joe Floyd Burdett and Virginia (Shonk) Burdett; his twin brother, Joe Floyd Burdett, III; and his sister Beverly (Burdett) Cartwright.
He enjoyed spending time and traveling with his beloved wife, his children, and grandchildren. He loved the game of golf, playing poker with a group of life-long friends, and riding his boat down the Kanawha River. He was quite the entertainer and enjoyed a good party, especially his elaborate New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Jack graduated from Charleston High School in 1965 and Marshall University in 1969 with a B.A. He had a 35 year career with BP, where he retired as the Senior Vice-President of Marketing. His work at BP transferred him and his family to various states where they were fortunate enough to establish many lifelong friendships. He lived out his final years in his hometown of Charleston.
He is survived by his first wife Mary Rebecca (Coughenour) Malone, children, Beth (Michael) Weber, Kristin (Rodney) Elkins, Melissa Coburn, Jeffrey (Lilian) Burdett, Meredith Burdett, and Mark Burdett. He is also survived by: his grandchildren, Lauren (Adrian) Fisch, Andrew Maston and Kaley Burdett; sisters-in-law, Deborah Burdett, Betsy Gardner, Janis Gardner; and brother-in-law, Joel Gardner and Bob Cartwright.
The family will receive friends from 12-2 p.m. on Sunday, May 16, 2021 at Barlow Bonsall Funeral Home, 1118 Virginia Street, East, Charleston, WV. Funeral Service will be at 2:00 p.m. also at Barlow Bonsall Funeral Home. Burial will be Monday, May 17, 2021 at 9 a.m. at Mountain View Cemetery.

This is the first image I have seen of Jack in 68 years. The last thing I knew what that he had gone to Detroit to work for the auto industry; that was when I last saw Joe and his mother in 1968. He and Joe’s birthday was two days before mine, and we lived across the street on Noise Ave. All those years I would wonder about Jack and hoped that he was living a good life. I am saddened now to find out, a year later, that he is passed. I remember on the twins’ birthday how we would gather in the Burdette living room and watch an 8mm Woody Woodpecker film. That was a special thing in those days. Many great memories from a full early childhood. But I am rambling. I wish the very best for his family. There is no better testimony than to be remembered as good and decent man. Be well.

So sad to hear about the passing of one of my favorite bosses at BP. Jack was very good to me and because of him, I was able to experience opportunities and places I normally woudn’t have. We talked about 3 times a year to catch up and he told me he was confined to a wheelchair last time we talked. His soul and body are healed now and he’s in heaven playing golf and giving lots of hugs to his wife, Pam, and his other family members. Rest in Heaven, my friend. My condolences to the Burdett family.
