Michael was 73 when he passed. He is survived by his wife Debra Burton, age 69, and his three children: Toni Burton, age 53; Corey Burton, age 36; and Amy Burton, age 31, and also his sisters Linda Burton, age 67 and Cathy Burton, age 67. Michael loved his family and would have done anything for them. He loved his grandchild, Benjamin McConnell, age 4. He was the highlight of his life. He always said he feels like a father to Ben. They had a very close bond. He always gave his family the best advice. He was loved by all and will be missed by his family. They will cherish his memories. He loved life and he loved hiking and going on adventures. He loved chess and was in multiple chess tournaments. Michael and his wife was avid glass collectors. Michael's favorite glass was Vaseline glass. He loved showing people who came over that it would glow under a black light. He loved telling people the history of his glass collection and as he did, his eyes would just glow, especially when he got a new piece.
