John Burns Obituary

John Matthew Burns was born on May 4th, 1971 to Jim and Judy Burns. He had an older brother, Joe Burns, who predeceased him, as did their father. He leaves behind his loving mother, his older brother Jimmy Burns and sister-in-law Trena Burns, and his younger brother Jay Burns and his sister-in-law, Celeste Burns. Also grieving his loss are his two children, Shalyssa and Jussynda Burns, and his nieces and nephews Sean Burns, Kirsten Andreasen, Kennedy Burns, Mia Burns, and Sawyer Burns, as well as other extended family and friends. John was an electrician for many years and he enjoyed working in this field. He also enjoyed many serene fishing trips at Bartlett Lake and his family fondly remembers these trips as some of his loveliest memories. He will be remembered for his confidence and keen sense of humor.
