Brother Benjamin Burec was born and raised in the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement. From his youth, he served the Lord for over 45 years in various positions in the Church. Some of his responsibilites in the General Conference included treasurer, secretary, Sabbath School Department director, Public Relations officer, and Reformation Herald Publishing Association director. He was experienced in many areas of the Lord's work.
Together with his wife, Sister Elsa Burec, they have been a blessing in the service of the Lord. He also brought many souls to Christ, studying personally with each of them; they were greatly blessed by the faithful courage of this man of God. Many have been tremendously benefitted by his honest, practical service. He will be greatly missed by all.
Our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Sister Elsa Burec, his three grown children (Evelyn, Elizabeth and Deborah), their spouses, and his five granddaughters. The funeral service will be held on October 5, 2015. Visitation will be held at 11:00 a.m., and the memorial service at 1:00 p.m. at Oakey's East Chapel, located on 5188 Cloverdale Road, Roanoke, VA 24019. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the General Conference building project.
On behalf of the General Conference,
D. Sureshkumar
