Joseph Burtnett Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud graduate of Duquesne University and Carnegie Mellon University, Joseph dedicated his life to learning, curiosity, and creativity. He found joy in the simple and meaningful things-spending quiet mornings fishing, afternoons painting, and countless cherished hours with his beloved horse Sunny.
Joseph was preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Mary and brothers Jack and Rich, whose memories he carried with him always. He is survived by his sisters-in-law, Peggy and Betty, his nieces and nephews-Patrick, Jackie, Christine, and RJ and great-nieces Sabrina, Madison, and Sloan.
Those who knew Joseph will remember his kind heart, artistic soul, and love for family and nature. He will be deeply missed.
