A native of Northfield, NJ and raised in Millersville, PA, Burton was a US Coast Guard veteran and was a professional soccer player. He excelled in sports and often entertained family and friends with special sports moments that he had gathered throughout his journey in life. It was through those stories that he often taught principles of living a godly life.

He retired in 2013 from his church in McAlpin, FL, but continued to minister to those around him throughout the remainder of his life.
