It is with heavy hearts the family announces the passing of Mr. Arthur Burdett on Thursday, February 8, 2024, with family by his side at the age of 92 years.  A wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and dear friend.

He will forever be lovingly remembered by his wife of 72 years, Maxine Burdett; his three daughters, Barb (Lyle) Schell, Carol (Bob) Hewitt and Judy (Daryl) Rackel; four grandchildren, Kyla (Dave) Vaughan, Alyssa (Ian) Saxby, Joel (Lindsay) Rackel and Leah (Cam) Kolasa and four Great-Grandchildren, Rylee & Mason Saxby and Morgan & Devyn Vaughan.  He was predeceased by parents Sidney and Phyllis Burdett, brother George Burdett. He is survived by sister Jean (Don) Young and family, sister-in-law Marlene Burdett and family.

Arthur was very proud to be from the Battlefords.  He was heavily involved in our community throughout the years in the BCYC, Curling Club, Central School Board, Fred Light Museum, Good Sam and Dance Club.  Art worked at the Guaranteed Trust Group for more than 30 years as well as North West Business Assistance for 10 years.  A.J loved to spend time working in his yard and cheering on his favorite sports teams.  A true gentleman, he was never without a friendly hello and a handshake and maintained his zest and positivity for life until the very end.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the nurses and doctors at the BUH for their exemplary care of Arthur in his final days.  Special thanks to nurses, Whitney, Autumn, Josie, Laura, Jensen, Eugene, Brooke, Taya, Sheila, Natawna and many more!  Great appreciation for the guidance and compassion of Dr. Kosh, Dr. Khurana and Dr. Campbell.
