Funeral services
for Patrick D. “Pat” Burton, age 51, and a lifelong resident of Norman, will
begin at 2:00 pm Wednesday, February 20, 2013 in The Chapel of the Havenbrook
Funeral Home, 3401 Havenbrook Street in Norman. The Burton family will greet
friends from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Tuesday evening, February 19, 2013 at the
Havenbrook Funeral Home.
Patrick Dean Burton was born March 11, 1961 in Norman the son of Ennis Palmer
and Prestina Fay (Jackson) Burton. He passed away Wednesday, February 13, 2013
at his home, alongside his best friend, Jacob, a border collie that brought Pat
a lot of love and smiles.
Pat has lived in Norman his entire life, attending the Norman Public Schools and
avidly supporting OU football. He was a simple man with a great sense of humor
and enjoyed spending time with his friends at Ole Blues. He also enjoyed
NASCAR, closely following Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. He took great
pride in maintaining the perfect yard, proudly displaying OU memorabilia to show
his unwavering support for the Sooners!
Pat was taken from us senselessly and there is no understanding why anyone would
want to cause a family so much hurt and pain, but we remain hopeful that the
individuals that took Pat’s life will be brought to justice and be punished for
what they did. We will miss Pat’s smile and laugh, but in the end we are
grateful for his life, for the friendships that he enjoyed and for all the
kindness and prayers extended to our family as we say goodbye to Pat.
Pat is survived by his mother, Tina Burton of Norman; one sister, Sharon Roberts
and her husband, Jeff of Lebanon, Tennessee; one niece, Amie Lewis King of
Hermitage, Tennessee, one nephew, John Robert Lewis, II, of Pegram, Tennessee,
one great-niece, Journey, one great-nephew, John Ryan; an Uncle and Aunt, Butch
and Roseanne Jackson, and their daughter, Debbie, and her son, Colton; and
lifelong friends, Jacquline Jackson, Terry Ray Stewart and many additional
friends.
He was preceded in death by his father, Coy Burton; one brother, Mike Burton;
his paternal grandparents, R.J. and Mollie Burton; his maternal grandparents,
Preston Jackson and Phaye McIntosh; and a pet dog, Duke.
Burial will conclude in the
Fairview-Maguire Cemetery in Noble immediately following the chapel
service.
