Burton L. Ward

What a wonderful man to lead his wonderful family. Praying for you all at this time of sorrow.

When I was young, my family was visiting. During the visit, a semi truck came down the hill using the jake brake. It was a common occurrence, but that time, I asked "why is the truck making that noise?". Uncle Burton proceeded to give me a lesson on the internal working of a diesel engine (complete with illustrations!) and what happened when the jake brake was applied. To this day, when I hear that sound, I remember Uncle Burton and his "Jake Brake lesson". He will be greatly missed!

Our deepest sympathies to the Ward family on your great loss. Burton was the salt of the earth kind of guy. He was one a person could count on. Having known Burton as I was growing up as a child and then as an adult and also serving together on the church deacon board together I have many fond memories of Burton. I learned so much from our conversations over the years. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all for peace and comfort from our Lord and Savior Jesus...

Burton was a good, hard-working, Godly man. He worked about as hard as any man I have known and still made time for the Lord. Blessings to all his family.
