Lewis Arlin "L.A." Burns, age 76 of Villa Rica passed away April 7, 2021 while on vacation in one of his favorite places, the beach. He was born December 11, 1944 in Carrollton, Georgia, son to Lewis and Ima Richardson Burns.
Lewis graduated from Villa Rica High School in 1963 and went to technical school to become an electrician. He retired from Ford Motor Company at the age of 49 after working 28 years. Lewis served two years of active duty in the United States Army and 28 in the reserves. He wore his uniform proudly and was honored to serve his country in the military for 30 years.
Lewis was a 25-year member of the Sandhill Lodge 350 F&AM. Lewis loved the Lord and attended Consolation Baptist Church where he was the "flag person" and always made sure our nations colors were flying high.
Family members said that Lewis didn't have a single lazy bone in his body. He was a hardworking family man and always made sure his family was taken care of. If you knew Lewis, you know he didn't always have a lot to say but when he did it was important so you better listen up. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing and hunting trips with his friends.
In addition to his parents, he is proceeded in death by his brothers and sisters-in-laws; Amos and Ruby Richardson, James Richardson, Henry and Betty Richardson, Carlos Richardson, Gary Burns, Warren Burns.
Lewis is survived by his wife, Janice Strickland-Burns; sons and daughters-in-law, Lewis Burns (Heidi Hahn Briggs), and Lee Burns (Beverly Ragland); daughters and sons-in-law, Janet Jenkins (Ronald), and Jamie Robinson (Jamie D.); grandchildren, Levi Burns, Anna Robinson, Tristan Jenkins, Leath Burns, Savannah Jenkins, Liam Burns and Ayla Robinson; great-grandson, Luca Burns; brother, Denney Burns (Jean); sisters, Wynell Richardson, and Ruth Dewberry (Joe); sister-in-law, Lorraine Richardson; aunt, Alice Burns; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time and will be announced in the coming days.
