Charlie Burger Obituary
He is deeply missed by his partner, Veronica Brayman; his sons, Charlie V (Cammy Morgan), Seth, and Garrett; his grandson, Charlie VI; Veronica's children, Dean and Kelsey; and Veronica's granddaughter, Lillian. Charlie is also survived by his father, Charlie Burger III; sisters Christine (Bobby) Martinez, Carolyn (Bill) Gagnon, Cheryl Burger and her partner Brandon Beit; brother Christopher (Rosamaria) Burger, Veronica's mother, Lorraine Brayman, sister Loretta (Bill) Aitken, and brother, Richard Jr. (Leslie) Brayman and numerous nieces, nephews, and their children. He was preceded in death by his mother, Betty Gail Burger, and his sister, Carrie (Frank) DeSantis.
Charlie was an artisan in every sense of the word. An accomplished carpenter, he possessed the remarkable ability to bring any vision to life. Through his career, he shared his talents with South County Post and Beam and The Cooper Group's Early New England Restorations.
Known for his unwavering generosity, Charlie was a steadfast friend always ready to offer assistance, no questions asked. He took pleasure in grilling and smoking meats, a spirited game of cornhole, and spending time with his loved ones.
A celebration of Charlie's life will be held at Rushlow-Iacoi Funeral Home on June 15, 2024 from 2 pm-4 pm. In lieu of flowers, his family kindly requests that you remember him by firing up the grill and enjoying a cold beverage in his honor.

June 5, 2024
Charlie Burger's sudden passing is a profound loss for Scouts BSA Troop 9 and the entire Pawcatuck community. As a dedicated volunteer leader, Charlie poured his heart into mentoring and guiding our youth. His passion for scouting values like integrity, service, and outdoor adventure was evident in everything he did.
The positive impact Charlie had on countless young lives is immeasurable. He taught skills like camping, first aid, and leadership with patience and good humor. More importantly, Charlie modeled what it means to be a good person of strong character. His legacy will carry on through the generations of scouts whose lives he touched.
On behalf of Troop 9, we extend our deepest condolences to Charlie's family during this difficult time. We are forever grateful for the selfless way he enriched our troop and community. Charlie's spirit of service and commitment to scouting's highest ideals will be dearly missed but never forgotten. He was a role model taken from us too soon.
May cherished memories of Charlie provide some comfort in the days ahead. His life was one of service, generosity, and bringing out the best in our youth. We will honor his memory by continuing his work of building confidence, resilience and integrity in Pawcatuck's future leaders.
