My heartfelt condolences go out to the Burton family during these most trying of times. JB was a one of a kind person who could light up a room and lift your spirits with a simple hello. When I first switched platoons he was the first person to make me feel as if I had been there the whole time and he made me feel like I belonged. Never a frown or negative statement to make; he continually showed a light inside his heart day in a day out. You will be missed every single day but know you will not be forgotten. Rest easy sir and God bless.

Although it may seem hard right now, but it will be the memory of these little things that will help push away the pain and bring smiles back again. May God light your way and give you comfort.

Stacey Bagby

June 5, 2013

Wow....I can't believe I am writing this for you and about you. Everyone always said that I spoiled you, and I did, how could I not. Whenever you made me mad, all you had to do was smile and you would get yourself out of trouble. I took care of you because you took care of me. There was nothing I asked of you that you would not do, no matter the task, the time, or the hard work required. You would always do everything with a smile, pat my shoulder and say you always had my back. I was not blessed to have children, but If I had a son I would want him to be genuine,good,kind,loving, and respectable just as you were. J. B. you left us too soon. I take from you with me great memories...and your great smile....

Tiff... you are the strongest Woman that I know. Your heart as was J.B's one in the same, Genuine. You will not ever be alone as long as you have us in your corner. And remember Tiff if no one else knows how strong you are.. I do. I leave this message with all the love and sorrow that I can give.

To the family of Jermaine Burton, I offer my deepest condolences. No man knows the day nor the hour when death comes upon us. I haven't known the family long but Jeremy and I always said it seems like forever. I would like to express my sympathies to the wife and children he left behind, let no one tell you how long you're supposed to grieve for Jermaine. Jaylin, I say a special prayer for you knowing that your uncle was your inspiration. If there is anything that I can do please let me know.

To the entire Burton family, I send my most heartfelt and sincere condolences. I met Jermaine "TWIN" on the other side of HSO. He was a daily breath of fresh air. Never a frown, always a smile; that's what he brought to the table daily. His smile was infectious and his laugh was inviting. He treated everyone with respect, genuine concern and compassion. As hard as it may be to understand at times, God truly does have the perfect plan. Cherish those precious moments that you shared with him. That's what I believe Jermaine would desire from all of us. He is still reminding us that, "everything will be alright, don't worry". It is my prayer that the peace that passes all understanding will gaurd your hearts and minds during this time. Celebrate Jermaine's life. It's worth the celebration...1love

Heads are low, weighed down by heavy hearts. Tears flowing and spirits torn apart. But God has it all under control and He knows your pain. And that right now your faith's hard to maintain. But draw closer to Him so you may find peace. Everything to Him and under His arm, it's you He will keep.

I pray you draw strength in each other. Jermaine was a great spirit and I hope remembering him in that way will give you strength to get through.
