Lee Edward Burdette was born on January 17, 1950. He proudly served our country for 26 years in the United States Air Force, and later served 15 years caring for his community as a nurse.
He married Tamra Burdette May 21, 1992, and for the next 28 years, he lived surrounded by a whole gaggle of girls that he absolutely lived for and adored.
On April 30th, 2020 Lee Burdette entered the kingdom of heaven, no doubt with a loud laugh and a big bear hug with Jesus!
To know Lee was to know BIG love! Everything he did was big...his laugh was so big; you could swear it rattled the walls sometimes. His hugs were so big you disappeared in his arms, sometimes gasping for air because you were fully engulfed. And his love was big - his love for God, his love for his wife, his love for his grandkids, and his love for his family. Lee always made sure you knew how BIG he loved you every chance he could! That big love will be what carries us through the sorrow from the absence we will wholly feel!
