John "Jc" Charles Burch

After a long, hard fought battle for his LIFE, proud native Houstonian, Co-Owner of MH Technologies and Past President of IEC Texas Gulf Coast, John Charles ‘JC’ Burch, left us on February 16, 2022 to join his heavenly family in the Great Beyond. Picture him now celebrating and rejoicing his celestial reunion with his cherished mother, Anginell Germany Burch, his favorite, fun-loving baby brother, Bryant Aarron Burch, and his most beloved companion in life, his cat Smitty Smat.

JC was a proud Texan born and raised in the Heights neighborhood of Houston, where he attended Love Elementary and John Reagan High School. Spending a majority of his youth on the South Texas gulf with family & friends inspired in him an immeasurable love for boats & water, and also motivated him to enlist in the US Navy after graduating high school. He proudly joined the rank of a Submarine Sailor, where he actively experienced the cuban missile crisis of 1962; a 13-day political, military standoff over nuclear-armed Soviet missiles in Cuba. After spending 4 years submerged at sea, sharpening his strength of character and unwavering will, JC returned to Houston and decided to put a tiger in his tank. He joined his pioneering mother, Anginelle, working in the oil & gas industry for the Humble Oil Corporation; now named a leading fortune 500 company - Exxon Mobil. Meanwhile, something big was being powered up in Houston. Jonn R. Fisk’s electrical vision is what enticed JC to get on board and help light up the gulf coast. While working for Fisk Electric, a corporate leader in mass transit projects, JC was introduced to his lifelong partner in business & crime, Joe Heiman, and his constant friend & sister-by-default, Mary. Together they crossed continents, extended their families, and constructed dreams into reality through the establishment of their own successful company - MH Technologies. With their precise, strategic planning and their deeply rooted commitment to quality work, loyalty, and leadership, JC & Joe trail blazed a legacy that will last for lifetimes in Houston’s Electrical Industry.

Aside from business, JC was adventurous in love and marriage, but his soul and stomach never went unsatisfied once he met his Alabama pride, loyal & loving bride of 29 years, June Jackson Burch. It was a Texas-BBQ love connection made at Pizzitola’s, their famously favorite local lunch spot on North Shepherd Drive. The dynamic duo quickly and cleverly blended families & friends, expanding not only their lives, but the lives of those most near & dear to them. JC enjoyed his retirement with June, preparing delicious meals, floating & fishing the gulf, cruising the seas, and watching colorful Sargent sunsets together from the comfort of their beautiful home on the bay. He took pleasure in a good scotch with his sons, Craig & Clay, short playful visits from his grandchildren, reading & watching anything historically inspired, and he devoutly loved his furry-not-so-purry friends: Emmy, Smitty, and last but certainly not least, Missy…. “June you better take good care of HER!”

JC’s memory will live on through those he is survived by: his wife June, his sister Darlene, his children Craig, Clay and his wife Shayla, Shelly and her husband Joe, Mark and his partner Renee, and his grandchildren: Alexa, Anniston, Adrian, Colton, Canaan, Bonnie, Bridgett, Bella, and Luke, as well as several nieces & nephews he loved dearly.

Please join us in celebrating the life & legacy of our loved one, JC Burch. Reception of Guests will be at the Memorial Oaks Funeral Home 13001 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 77079 at 9 AM, with the Memorial Service beginning promptly at 10 AM, followed by a Celebration of Life luncheon with the family at the IEC Texas Gulf Coast, Inc., 601 N Shepherd Dr Suite 330, Houston, TX 77007
