In Loving Memory of Michael Albert Burns
Michael Albert Burns, age 63, passed away peacefully after a long illness on August 13, 2026, surrounded by his loving wife, Julie Burns (Russell), family, friends, and the extraordinary caregivers who stood faithfully by his side and cared for him as one of their own.

Michael was born on September 19, 1962, to Richard Albert Burns and Emma Lee Burns (Decker). To all who knew him, Michael was a unique, loving, and caring individual who left a lasting impression on the lives of those fortunate enough to know him. He was a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.

Throughout his life, Michael worked in many different fields, but two chapters of his career held a special place in his heart. His military service as a helicopter pilot and mechanic was a source of great pride, as was his later career as a surgical assistant. Both careers reflected his dedication, skill, and desire to serve others.
