Michael Burt, 74, passed away quickly at his home in Herriman on October 27, 2016 under the loving care of his wife and family.
Born in Logan on January 29, 1942 to John Edward and Ethel Elizabeth Burt, he was raised a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and maintained his strong testimony during his mortal life. Michael had an older brother, Jack; they spent their childhood living in Centerville, Anchorage, Alaska; and Eugene, Oregon.
In 1961, he served a full-time mission in Central America, where he faithfully served and came to love the people. He met his eternal companion, Sherry Ada Schurman, at a Brigham Young University dance and they later wed in the Salt Lake Temple on June 2, 1967 for time and all eternity.
Michael graduated from Brigham Young University in 1970 with a master's degree in speech pathology and audiology. He spent thirty-plus years helping many people in the Salt Lake City School District, and his private practice with the mentally disabled.
Michael loved his BYU Cougars, and was a football season ticket holder for many years. He also enjoyed reading, politics, and spending time with his family and his eternal sweetheart.
After retirement, he devoted his life to God's work, serving at the St. George and Oquirrh Mountain temples and serving a mission with his wife as an Addiction Recovery Missionary.
He is survived in life by his loving wife, Sherry; and his five living children, Joseph, John, Kara, Nick, and Brandi; along with nineteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his two sons, Christopher and Brandon Burt; father, John; mother, Ethel; and brother, Jack.
Michael was and is the kind of person who looked at you as Christ would. A heart as big as any, he was well-loved, and returned that love to all he met through his very last moments on this Earth. He labored relentlessly to provide for his family without complaint. He was a man that would do anything for those he without a hesitation.
He dearly loved his eternal companion, Sherry, and she him. There is no doubt he will continue to watch over and care for her and his family.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at 12:00 p.m. in the Pioneer Seventh Ward Chapel, 14172 South Emmeline Drive. A viewing will be held prior to the services from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.
Interment: Herriman City Cemetery.
If you knew and loved him, we want you there.
