A longtime resident of Leesville, Louisiana, Burch grew up in Oklahoma but also spent time in Kansas and Arizona as a youth. His early was life marked by hard work picking cotton and pecans to help support his mother and four younger siblings. Later he worked at a peanut factory in Okmulgee before enlisting in the U.S. Army, where he served for twenty years as a military chef, including service time in the Vietnam War. In 1964, he married Trinidad Noguera Baixauli, with whom he shared 57 years of matrimony. He retired from the U.S. Army in 1981 achieving the rank of E-7, Sergeant First Class.
Immediately after retiring from the U.S. Army, Burch embarked on a second career as a chef on various offshore oil drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. He spent another twenty years working offshore before returning to work in food services at Fort Polk, Louisiana, and retiring at age 67.
Burch was a loving son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather who will be remembered for his love of food, especially buffalofish, his culinary skill, his easygoing nature, his devotion to family and friends, and his overflowing generosity. Most notably, at age 77, he came to the Lord Jesus Christ, was born again, and diligently sought the Lord in Bible study and prayer.
