Jerry was a veteran of the Navy after graduating from Camelback High School in Phoenix, AZ. He worked as a water systems engineer, and retired from Gilbert Pump. For a majority of his life he drilled wells and planned and placed irrigation systems for farmlands all over Arizona.
He was an avid ASU sports fan, wood worker and could fix almost anything that needed repair. Jerry is survived by his children Gwen Carr (Rick), Kevin Burdette (Christi) and his grandchildren Nathan Carr, Caileigh Burdette, Jeremy Carr and Kennah Burdette.
He was preceded in death by his mother Edna Griffin Burdette, father James H. Burdette and sister Tewanda Darlene Servis. A memorial service will be on Monday, January 2, 2023 at Green Acres Mortuary and Cemetery at 11AM.
