James Burton
October 12, 1958 - June 26, 2015
BURTON, James Murlen
October 12th, 1958 – June 26th, 2015
James Murlen Burton passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital on Friday, June 26th, 2015. James never gave up the fight but when the time came and he had to face the end, he did so bravely, calmly and almost defiantly. James was predeceased by his parents; Norita and David Howard, and early in his life his father, James Ralph Burton. He is survived by his beautiful daughter, Serena Rose Burton, brother, Robert Burton and his family (wife, Leslee, sons; Nicholas, Jesse, Landon, and Cole) of Red Deer, AB, sister, Rita Fuchs and her family (husband, Tim and children; Brian, Amanda and Tim) of Ephrata, Washington, and brother, David Howard and his family (wife, Tracie and children; Morgan and Brett) of Decature, Texas.
James was born in Toledo, Oregon, on October 12th, 1958. The family moved to Prince George, BC, in 1964. Later, they moved to and lived several years in the Okanagan region before moving to the Stettler and Sylvan Lake area in 1974. James eventually settled in Red Deer, AB, where he worked for Petrotreat Inc. and subsequently PureChem Services.
James made many lifelong friends through the years. These friends, along with his family were a priority for James. They were a source of great joy and pride as he spent many meaningful hours with them. James has a passion for photography, collecting antiques, archery, and spending time with his daughter Serena, the true love of his life. James was a strong, kind, loyal, beautiful and remarkable man. This world has lost an irreplaceable human. You shall never be forgotten and remain always in our hearts, minds and stories forever.
James, we miss you already…
A Celebration of James’ Life will be held at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45 Street, Red Deer on Friday, July 3rd, 2015 at 1:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in James’ honour may be made directly to the Canadian Cancer Society, 101, 6751 52 Avenue, Red Deer, AB, T4N 4K8.
