Our gentle and loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away peacefully on February 17, 2019. Burton was born on July 12, 1933, in Lyman, Wyoming, to E. Francis Winters and Margaret Burton Winters. Burton’s love for music and the gospel of Jesus Christ formed the foundation for his life of consecrated service. He served as a missionary in the North Central States Mission. He later earned a bachelor’s degree in music education and a master’s degree in religious education, both from Brigham Young University. He was sealed to his eternal companion, Joyce Adams, in the Salt Lake Temple on June 1, 1956. Burton’s friendship with Joyce blossomed when they were cast as the leads in their high school musical in Afton, Wyoming. Throughout their lives, they performed together in hundreds of musical settings, including concerts, funerals, community plays and events, and for nearly a decade as members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, where they sang in concert halls across the world.
Burton’s love for the gospel of Jesus Christ was evident in his profession as a seminary and institute teacher with the Church Educational System, as well as in his dedicated service as a church leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He taught thousands of high school and college students in Idaho, Arizona, and Utah, primarily at Davis High School in Kaysville. He twice served as a bishop and paid special attention to the youth and widows of the ward. He gave hundreds of patriarchal blessings during his 38 years of service as a patriarch in the Church. He was a true disciple of Jesus Christ, an example of one who has faithfully walked the covenant path.
Beyond his devotion to the Savior, Burton’s greatest love was his own family, and he inspired a remarkable legacy of faith among his posterity. He was a devoted, loving, and faithful husband to Joyce for over 62 years. His family loved his gentle nature, wise counsel, beautiful woodwork, resonant bass voice, and clever wit.
Burton is survived by his wife, Joyce; children, Mark (Liesle) Winters, Steven (Marcia) Winters, Christine (Kent) Hatch, David (Pamela) Winters, Alan (Jill) Winters, Jennifer (Dean) Taylor; 28 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren; and siblings, Allene Robinson, Kathleen Call, Evan Winters, John Winters, Bruce Winters, Mary Cluff, Ann Moulton, Wayne Winters. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Joan.
The entire Winters family expresses their gratitude to many wonderful friends and neighbors who have given their love and support, as well as to doctors, nurses, and therapists who skillfully cared for him during his final days.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, February 23, 2019 at 10:30 a.m. at the Kaysville Utah Central Stake Center, 555 North 100 East, Kaysville. Friends may visit family Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lindquist’s Kaysville Mortuary, 400 North Main and Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m. at the church. Interment, Kaysville City Cemetery.
