It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bill Burton, formerly of Hillcrest, Alberta, who was called to be with the Lord on October 23, 2013 while receiving care at the Crowsnest Pass Health Care Centre at the age of 75 years.
William Albert Burton was born on May 18, 1938 in Bellevue, Alberta to Ambrose and Ella Burton. He grew to appreciate this wonderful community with its majestic mountains and friendly people. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, light-hearted moments with friends and above all else, time spent with family.
Bill was blessed with a family of his own and found true love with a lovely lady, Barbara, whom he married. His devotion and love for Barb and his family was admirable. Bill was a hardworking and caring man whom we will dearly miss but gladly remember. May he be at peace.
He is survived by his children, Jo-Anne (Randy) Nemirsky of Lamont, Patrick Burton of Edmonton and Jack (Maria) Burton of Sherwood Park; his step-children, Aaron (Kim) Miskulin and Nolan Miskulin; his grandchildren, Nicholas (Tanya) Mimerski, Daniel Nemirsky, Christopher Tichy, Robin Burton, Jennifer Burton, Shyan Burton, Tahya Burton, Neko McLean and Nakita McLean; several great grandchildren; his sister, Lily Burton of Coleman; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family; as well as the many friends he made throughout his lifetime.
He was predeceased by his wife, Barbara Kathleen Burton and his parents, Ambrose and Ella Burton.
With respect for Bill’s wishes, no funeral services will be held.
