James A. "Jim" Burger, Jr. Obituary (1950

Jim, a devoted husband, father, and patriarch went to join his Heavenly Father on July 27, 2024. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, strength, courage, and adventure. Born to Jim and Esther Burger on October 15, 1950, he went on to join the Army National Guard and further his education with several degrees. He will always be the smartest man most of us know. He retired as a successful businessman but he would say his greatest success was his family. Jim married his sweetheart, the love of his life, Debra Bradburn, on September 2, 1972, and together they raised three beautiful daughters; April Johnson, Amilyn (Lance) Stange, and Alisa (Larry) Sanders. Jim's family expanded to include eleven grandchildren who brought immense love and joy to his life: Jasmine, Mathena, Jayda, Izaiah, Tanea, Braden, Aries, Bryson, Laylah, Brielle, and Brynnley. And, the newest additions, his great-grandchildren, Izaiah Jr., Ayra Skye, and Legend Aire. His love didn't stop there as he cherished a multitude of bonus children and grandchildren, too many to name but who were loved as deeply as his own. His only brother, Bart Burger, and nephew Zachary (Jenna) Burger, were very dear to his heart and along with extended family members, including great-nieces and cousins, will truly miss him. His memory will live on in his family, friends, and all that had the privilege of knowing him. Jim's intelligence and words of wisdom, courage and insurmountable strength will continue to inspire generations to come.
