October 5, 1943 - October 26, 2024
In loving memory ~
George William Burden, 81, passed away peacefully on October 26, 2024, at Laurel Place Hospice in Surrey, BC. Born in Rossland, BC, on October 5, 1943, George was known for his kind and steadfast nature, a man of quiet strength who was always positive, friendly, and encouraging.
George truly believed that Math is Fun. He spent his career as a Math teacher in Delta, where his passion for teaching and his encouraging nature left a lasting impact on countless students. Outside of work, he was an active member of White Rock Baptist Church and then Cloverdale Baptist Church. George cherished time spent with friends, prioritizing early morning walks, curling, meeting for coffee and other get togethers.
George's family was the cornerstone of his life. He was a loving father to Brent (Priscilla), Sher (Jim), and Taralyn, and a doting grandfather to Daniel (Kairi), Ben (Jett), Tiana (Nick), Isaiah (Hadas), and Dylan. George also delighted in his role as a great-grandfather to Silas, Oli, Alexei, and Elena. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Marley Burden.
A service to celebrate George's life will be held at Cloverdale Baptist Church on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at 2 PM. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation.
