He is survived by his loving son, Jason (Chasidee) Burgin, and daughter, Amanda (Josh) Haskovec, alongside cherished grandchildren Tyler and Tatum Burgin, as well as Jenna and Brady Haskovec, who will forever carry his memory in their hearts. His brother, George Thomas Burgin Sr., and sister, Sharon Garmon. Together with a host of nieces, nephews, friends, and neighbors who shared in Jodie’s life and will miss his presence dearly.

Jodie was preceded in death by his parents, Jodie Estle Burgin Sr. and Mary Alice Lawson, as well as his beloved wife of 46 years, Debra Jean Burgin. Their legacies remain intertwined with his own, reminding all who knew him of the love and strength that defined their lives together.

Jodie Estle Burgin Jr. will be remembered not only for his lifelong dedication and strong character but most profoundly for the love he gave his family and friends. His presence enriched their lives, and his memory will continue to inspire and comfort all who were privileged to know him.
