Dean B. Burns Jr.

Dean B. Burns Jr, 41, of Morgan passed away unexpectedly on November 16, 2020 in Charleston, VT. He was born on October 17, 1979 in Newport, VT to Dean Sr. and Deborah (Allen) Burns. On June 16, 2012 he married Tyia Pitts who survives him.

Our Dean was an amazing mechanic, carpenter, friend, father, husband, brother, and son. He was never afraid to tackle new challenges with his steadfast confidence in his abilities. He never shied away from voicing his opinions. He had a knack for storytelling and loved the challenge of bartering. He was a hard-working man, but his favorite time of day was when he got to go home to his family.

Dean found his soulmate with his second wife of 15 years Tyia. His heart he found in his children, Jacob, Kaiden, Dean III, Calynn, and Madalynn. He was a wonderful and loving father whose only regret was not having more time for his two children that did not live with him Jacob and Dean III. For the family he had at home he worked tirelessly to ensure that we were safe and loved in his strong arms. They were his most precious possessions, his masterpieces.

There are not enough words to paint the picture of what a beautiful and loving human being Dean was. For those who knew him best his departure leaves a hole that will never be filled.

He is also survived by his parents Dean and Deborah Burns of Woodbury, VT, brother Dustin Burns and his wife Jessica of Beecher Falls, VT, sisters Michelle Baker and her husband Eric of East Charleston, VT, and Amy Mayhew and her boyfriend Jon Farnsworth of Newport, VT. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Annie Pitts and her boyfriend Christopher Doncaster of Irasburg, VT, brother-in-law Samuel Pitts and his wife Kaci of Rapid City, SD, Deisirae Wieser and her husband Carl of Blackhawk, SD and close friend Bucky Dennet and his wife Kacey of Lowell, VT, as well as nieces and nephews.
