Burton Eugene Ford Sr.

  The family of Burton Eugene Ford Sr is deeply saddened to announce his passing on March 28th 2025, at the age of 74.

Burt was born on July 24th 1950 in Las Vegas Nevada to George Ford and Nell Camp (Hightower).

Burt was raised in Las Vegas and lived there until 1981 when he moved to Pahrump to raise his family.

Burt retired from the Nevada Test Site after 32 years in 2015. Retiring was good to him, he spent the majority of his time pestering the love of his life, Roberta Ford, his wife of 26 years.

Burt lived his life working hard, and creating as many memories as he could.

Burt is preceded in death by his parents George Ford (father), and Charlie (bonus-father) & Nell Camp, his brothers Paul, James Ford and David Handzel, his sons Jacob Tobias (bonus son), Steven Deabenderfer (Stephanie), Eric Krueger (Jamie), and most recently Burton Eugene Ford JR.

He will be forever missed by his wife Roberta Ford, his children Charlie & Connie, Alan & Heidi, Stephanie & Troy, Sherry & Bill, Brendi, Danyelle & Ken, Jason and Bridget, Pam, Christina & Josh, Jamie & Francis, David, his grandchildren, Lisa & Omar, Jeremy & Apol, Steven & Jennifer, Damian, Lindsie, Coty, Tyler, Lizzie & Riley, Kennedy, Ryan, James & Kayla, M’Kenzie & Noah, Kenny, Madison, Will, Oakley, Ethan, Caydence, Jillian, Teagan, Brayden, Mollee, Chase, Camden and Jaxon, Devon and his great grandchildren, Sofia, Averie, Joseph, Alijah, Damien, Steven, Jett, Jaydon and Wyatt Ford.

Burt was genuine, kind, respected, and caring but more than that, he was there, whether it was a friend needing a favor, a child looking for wisdom and guidance, a grandchild looking for a Dr. Pepper, or sneaking a KitKat to the great grands. He was present making the most out of any time he spent with those he loved.

To know Burt was to love him so his family would like to invite everyone who knew him to attend the celebration of him and his son Burton Ford Jr. April 19th 11:00 am at Treasures RV Resort 301 W Leslie St, Pahrump, NV.

In memory of Burt, feel free to wear your favorite Ford shirt and dress casual.
