Burton (Brandy Taylor); granddaughter, Kylee E. Taylor; brother, Terry Burton; brother-in-law, Bob Etheridge (Irene); former wife, Anita White; and step-children, Terry Earhart (Waynette), Joe Earhart (Becky), David Wolfe, and Deborah Wolfe. Graveside services will be held at 1:00 P.M. Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at Graceland Cemetery with Deacon Noel F. (Bud) Bryant officiating. Arrangements are under the care of Ralph Robinson and Son Funeral Directors. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions be made to the Bryant Public Schools food service department, 200 NW 4th St., Bryant, AR 72022, in order to help continue to provide meals for children who need assistance.
