Michael H. Burner 9/15/1943 – 3/6/2024

Michael Burner, 80, of Westhampton Beach, NY, passed away on March 6, 2024. Michael was born on September 15, 1943 to Kurt and Anna Burner in The Bronx, NY. At 16 years old, his first job was in a button factory in The Bronx. He was a rising star in the retail world and as only Michael could do, he went into an entirely new field, construction. Later in life he became a builder/developer, as the Founder & President of Elderco Inc, a craftsman of fine homes in The Hamptons. In 1980 with three kids in tow, Brian, Robin, and Gabriele, he married Nancy J. Marchesini and her daughter, Tara. Soon Britt, Kyra, and Taylor made it an uneven seven. To say Michael was a family man is an understatement. From starting the Safe Homes Program and Friday Night Recreation to coaching sports teams and serving as President of the Port Jefferson School Board, Michael was an impactful part of the local community. Ever dedicated to community service, Michael was a leader and active member of the Port Jefferson Lion's Club and later, the Moriches Bay Project, Kiwanis of Westhampton Beach, and was a Charter Member of the Westhampton Yacht Squadron. Michael will be missed by his friends, family, clients, business associates, the Elderco Team, and all of the other various lives he touched with his sarcasm and quick wit. Michael is survived by his wife Nancy, son Brian, daughters Robin, Gabriele, Tara, Britt, Kyra, and Taylor, 18 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Michael H. Burner Community Service Trust at everloved.com/life-of/michael-burner.
