Alan, 45, was born in Salem to Alan "Al" and Linda (Allen) Burnett. He passed away in Lebanon due to complications from diabetes. He joined his dad; grandparents Warren "Shorty" and Virginia Burnett, William W. "Bill" and Dorothy Allen; and his two 'fur'ever friends, Licorice, a miniature schnauzer, and Brutus "Bob," a rottweiler, rescued from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, while he was working at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
He graduated from Sprague High School in 1989 and went on to pursue his love for cars or anything with two, three or four wheels in various fields of the automotive industry. At one point in his short life he started the "Elusive" Mini Truck Club with chapters in Salem and Newport. Although he never got to realize his life's dream of having a Rottweiler Rescue Facility, his love of the breed was never ending.
Alan is survived by his mother, Linda Burnett of Jefferson; his loyal rottie, Mya of Jefferson; uncle and aunt Rick and Karen Burnett of Salem; great-aunt and uncle Nancy and Ken O'Dell of San Antonio, Texas; several cousins and many friends.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in his name to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, 5001 Angel Canyon Road, Kanab, Utah 84741-5000.
A graveside service will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017, at City View Cemetery under the direction of City View Funeral Home.
