Billy Walter Burdge born on November 1, 1981, sadly left this world on June 4, 2022, to be in the arms of Jesus.  He is the son of Bobby Deon Burdge and Kimberly Sue (Harding) Griffin.

Billy loved being in the woods and at the river.  He loved nature and life and he loved spending time with his family and friends.  He was the most generous and kindhearted person you would ever meet.  Billy would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need.  He thought outside of the box often.  He loved to hear laughter and making people laugh.

Billy was a big Momma's boy and very proud of it.  He was extremely close to his brother Mike and sister Katrina and shared many happy memories with them.  His children, Josie and Austin was his world, he absolutely adored his granddaughter, Aria, and had a very special place in his heart for his special friend, Amanda.

He loved working at Lee's Famous Recipe, joking around with his co-workers and his cousin, brother and friends Danny Jo and Little Donnie.  He will be sadly missed by so many.

Those he has left behind to cherish his memories and love, include his parents, Bobby Deon Burdge and Kimberly Sue (Victor Willis) Harding Griffin; daughter, Josie (Luke Steele) Burdge; son Austin (Brooklyn Gabbard) Burdge; brothers Mike (Amy) Burdge and Tyler March; sister, Katrina (Lloyd) Stamper; granddaughter, Aria Ocean Ann Marie Burdge Steele; nephews Johnathon Stamper, Michael Adkins and Braedon Burdge; uncles, Walter (Kathy) Harding, Donald Harding, Junior Burdge and Chris Griffin; step grandparents, Connie & Bob Bissonette; and aunts, June Watkins, Elizabeth Rivera, Tammy Radar and Michelle Griffin.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Sherry Joleen Gabbard Burdge; grandparents, Marion Walter Harding, Jr., Nanny Marie Glenn Harding and Lena Carlin Burdge; stepfather, Shunion Lee Griffin; nephew, Brandon Adkins; uncles Donald Griffin and Leroy Burdge; and aunts Barbara Ellen Harding and Betty Jo Harding.
