Burrell Gene Jarvis

Burrell was born to the late Katie Helton on July 24th 1933 in St Louis MO. Burrell married the late Veta Jarvis on June 15 1952 when he was 19 and Veta was 16 years old and spent the next 67 years together. Burrell had a tremendous career in the paper business until he retired as General Manager from Unisource Worldwide in 1999. He was considered a mentor to hundreds of people many of which considered him as a second father. His vocation may have been paper but his lifetime passion was always people and their wellbeing. He was a man of God and lived his life as a true example of forgiveness and acceptance. Burrell was predeceased by his wife of 67 years, Veta Jarvis, by a mere 10 days. They truly spent their whole lives together and just couldn’t imagine not being together in Heaven.

Burrell is survived by all four children Terri Dutch of Idyllwild; Robert Jarvis of Redlands; Tim Jarvis of Hemet; Jeff Jarvis of Benicia. He is also survived by seven grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
