Donald Briggs Burnett, Jr.

What a man, full of life, always a smile and those jokes of his. My condolences for the Burnett Family. Your in my thoughts and prayers.

Even though I didn’t personally know Donald, I have worked with his son Donny for many years. If he was anything like his son, he was an amazing, wonderful, kind, caring, loving and giving man. My heart goes out to his family.

“Time will ease the Hurt”

The sadness of the present days is locked and set in time
and moving to the future is a slow and painful climb…

But all the feelings that are now so vivid and so real
Can’t hold

“Time will ease the Hurt”

The sadness of the present days is locked and set in time
and moving to the future is a slow and painful climb…

But all the feelings that are now so vivid and so real
Can’t hold their fresh intensity as time begins to heal…

No wound so deep will ever go entirely away
yet even hurt becomes a little less from day to day…

Nothing can erase the painful imprints on your mind
but there are softer memories that time will let you find…

Tho your heart won’t let the sadness simply slide away
the echoes will diminish even tho the memories stay…..

We had just reconnected after high school...such a caring individual with a winning smile. I pray he is resting in the arms of our Lord. Rest in peace, my friend.

Once a Marine, always a Marine. Quite the pool player too, Briggs was always a good friend to me, and I miss him. One of my sons met him only a few weeks ago, and was, needless to say, impressed. He was an ageless man who cared nothing about the age of his friends. My blessings and heartfelt sympathy to the entire family.

To a true American whom flew our nations colors so very proud. A compassionate person always willing to lend an ear. Quick with a joke if he saw you down. Thank you sir. My deepest sympathy goes out to all his family and friends. You’ll be missed Briggs.

I am so sorry that this tragic accident happened to a friend who had such a zest for life. Loved food and conversations with good friends (ergo, argumentive discussions sometimes). A very strong man with a true love for life, friends and his lovely wife Mary. We will forever miss him.

Briggs, I will miss your commentary on what is on the tv as you are drinking your beer. May you rest in peace.

A unique man of honer with a great love of life and laughter. Briggs will be missed by all that knew him. Prayers for Mary and family.

There are so many memories that I can list about my dear friend...from us exchanging "coooupons", turning me on to the Shanghi Mix they sell at Big Lots, trying to fix my broken bracelet and gave up so he told me to let him take it to his bride "Mary" who can fix anything (and she did), trying to convince me to go to culinary school, to just being the best man that he could be because "that's the kinda

There are so many memories that I can list about my dear friend...from us exchanging "coooupons", turning me on to the Shanghi Mix they sell at Big Lots, trying to fix my broken bracelet and gave up so he told me to let him take it to his bride "Mary" who can fix anything (and she did), trying to convince me to go to culinary school, to just being the best man that he could be because "that's the kinda guy he is". I opened my email and had to smile because he had his own folder in my inbox where I still had 397 messages from him that I didn't delete and never will! The list goes on and on!

I am truly going to miss my dear friend and my deepest sympathy goes out to the family during this time of grieving.

I will trully miss our rides together
