Burger King Employees Attend Funeral of 91-Year-Old Loyal Customer

At the funeral of a devoted customer, aged 91, Burger King staff members made a heartwarming gesture by attending the service dressed in their uniforms.

Workers from the Burger King branch in North Branch, Minnesota showed great kindness by attending the funeral of a frequent customer, Jerry Parkin, while wearing their work attire. This unexpected gesture left his family feeling shocked and deeply moved.

According to Jerry’s daughter, an individual entered the church kitchen and announced, “The entire Burger King team has arrived,” which left Jerry puzzled, as they also brought a chair along with them.

The chair that was delivered wasn’t an ordinary one; it was the customary seat of Jerry’s at the restaurant, bearing his name and the significant dates of his birth and demise.

Each morning, he’d take a seat in the chair, savoring his coffee. One staff member shared, pointing at a picture, “This is the spot we arranged for him.

In a heartfelt gesture, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed as I admired my father’s unique chair – adorned with a Burger King crown and an American flag. It was more than just a tribute to his military service; it was a symbol of our shared love for the simple joys in life and the pride we hold for his sacrifices. Truly, it was extraordinary!

Following the funeral service, the chair was brought back to the local Burger King, where it remains today as an enduring tribute to Jerry and the impact he had on both employees and customers.

As a gamer, I felt my heart warmed by this heartfelt tale that struck a chord with many online. In response to KARE 11’s video, one commenter expressed, “It’s simply amazing to show kindness and thoughtfulness towards someone who made a difference in our lives.

One person exclaimed, “I absolutely adore this! Great job, BK North Branch! What an exceptional individual!” Another chimed in, “Even the tiniest acts of kindness and empathy can make a tremendous difference.
