Richard was born August 19, 1951, in Flint, Michigan, to Wilbert and Rita (Palacios) Burnett. He graduated from Northwestern High School in 1969, and later attended Mott Community College. Richard married the love of his life, Donna Jean Marrah on February 22, 1974, at St. Pius X Catholic Church in Flint. Mr. Burnett is a proud U.S. Air Force Veteran, having achieved COSMIC ATOMAL Clearance during his service. Richard worked as a Letter Carrier for the U.S. Postal Service for over 36 years before retiring in 2006. He was a faithful member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church where he served as a Sacristan & Altar Server. Richard was also a member of the National Association of Letter Carriers, Knights of Colombus – Good Shepherd Council #8669, and was a mentor for the Columbian Squires. He found solace in gardening & landscaping, and joy in other simple pleasures of life, such as hunting, camping, woodworking, and antiquing. He preferred to fix things, rather than buying new. In his final hours, he reminded his family of the values he found the most important - faith, family, and love.
