Kenneth Ralph Burdette went home to be with our Lord and Savior on January 4, 2021. He was born March 9, 1939 to Rev. Offie and Virginia Burdette. Ralph served our country in the United States Navy. He retired from West Virginia American Water Company after 40 plus years.

Ralph had lots of friends and also his church family at Union Valley Gospel Tabernacle which he loved dearly. His special friends and neighbors, Jean and Matt; and sister in law, Karen Burdette, who were wonderful people to him.

Ralph was preceded in death by his only son, Anthony "Tony" Burdette, and brother, David Burdette. He is survived by sisters Ruth Page, and Joyce (James) Burford; brother, Ronald (Pat) Burdette, nine nieces and nephews. His sisters will miss him dearly, he was a big brother who called and made sure we were O.K. We will miss his laughter and jokes, and his kindness to help other people was limitless. Rest Big Brother until we meet again.

There will be no services per Ralph's request.
