Kenneth Gerald Burgett ("Boog") was born August 16, 1953 to Ernest and Sue (Otwell) Burgett in Gunterville, Alabama where he lived for 24 years.  Kenneth was passing through Wagoner, Ok with Daniel's Construction.  Kenneth worked for Daniel's as a welder and pipefitter.  His job in Muskogee was for only three months then they were headed to Texas for their next job.  Well, that was Ken's plans until he meet Deborah Watkins.  Ken said Goodbye to Daniel's Construction and Hello to Debbie.  Within two months Ken and Debbie were united in marriage on February 24 in Wagoner where they reside.  Ken went to work for LaBarge Pipe and Steel in July of 1979 as a welder and final prep, then finished up his career as a foreman 36 years later.  Ken and Debbie have two beautiful daughters.  He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.  Some of Ken's favorite things to do were, be in the backyard either swimming, playing volleyball, or playing horseshoes with family and friends.  The thing he loved most was being on the water with his closest friends and family fishing, boat riding, and pulling the grandchildren on the tube. Ken loved giving back to the community whether it was cooking his fish at the wild life cookout or cooking for friends and families weddings and BBQ's.

As we all know fishing was Ken's passion in life, Chuck Watkins was his better half/fishing partner, and I was just his wife.
