Gregory Burzanko
Gregory Burzanko, age 67, of Mooresville, N.C., died peacefully at S. Mitchell Mack Hospice House in Mooresville on Feb. 12, 2025, following a period of declining health.
Greg was born on Sept. 2, 1957, to the late Nick Burzanko and Irma Jean Tompkins Burzanko. He grew up in Burton and spent his time when he was young learning to make maple syrup and tend to the needs of local farms. He was happiest spending time outside, and his grandkids always brought the biggest smiles.
Greg’s legacy will be in the lessons he taught us about showing up for your people, gardening and caring for the yard, making sure birds are fed, and knowing that no struggle is too great.
Greg was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife, Debi Farley Burzanko; his brother Rick; and a wide, close family of aunts, uncles and cousins who we are sure were waiting to greet him with open arms, big smiles and his special family nickname.
Greg is survived by his daughter, Jennifer (Burzanko) Medlen; his wife of 40 years, Louise Burzanko; son-in-law, Rob Medlen; triplet grandchildren, Toby, Eleanor and Callista Medlen; sister, Vicky Meadows; brother Bill Burzanko; aunt, Barb Sanford; sisters-in-law, Leesa Burzanko, Linda (Bob) Hazel and Diane (Kevin) Laymon; chosen family, Joy (Tom) Brown-Latimer; and more cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews than Greg could ever keep track of.
The family is thankful for Hospice of Iredell County and the programs made possible by this supportive government service.
