Joseph Alan Burdette "Joe" passed away peacefully at home in Mount Hope, KS, on November 19, 2025.
Joe was born in Charleston, WV, to parents Ralph and Betty Burdette. He graduated high school from Akron, IA. He was baptized in the Christian faith and had a gift of service to others. He was a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandpa, uncle, and friend.
Joe was kind with a brilliant mind and many skills. He obtained a bachelor's degree in finance. His many skills allowed him to be an owner/operator of Hansen Plumbing and Heating with his father-in-law Ford Hansen, excel in many sales and marketing roles most notably with KG&E/Western Resources and enjoy helping others later in his career as a Maintenance Technician. He enjoyed working with his hands and was always willing to offer advice and wisdom.
