Honoring the Life of Burnie Richardson

Donation protected
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Burnie Richardson on Sunday, September 15th, 2024. Burnie suffered a stroke, which tragically led to a ruptured blood vessel in his head. His sudden departure has left a void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Burnie was a man who cherished his family and lived his life with love, respect, and unwavering support for his friends and loved ones. He and his beloved wife, Sharie, built a close-knit and loving family together, raising five wonderful children: Sydney, Bradly, Bethanie, Savanah, and Scarlet. Burnie was a devoted father, always present for his family, guiding and nurturing them with the same love and passion that he carried throughout his life.

Music and art were at the core of Burnie’s soul. His creativity knew no bounds, and he passed this gift down to his children, instilling in them a deep appreciation for the arts. Whether teaching them how to sing, play instruments, or express themselves through drawing, Burnie fostered an environment where creativity and passion flourished. His legacy lives on in the talents and passions of his children, a lasting testament to his dedication as both a father and mentor.

Burnie was known for his kindness, generosity, and the deep connections he formed with those around him. He was a source of strength and love for his friends and family, always ready with a smile, a helping hand, or words of encouragement. His loss is felt deeply, but the impact he had on the lives of so many will never fade.

We are raising funds to support Sharie and their children as they navigate this difficult time and begin to adjust to life without their loving husband and father. Any contribution, big or small, will help ease the burden and honor Burnie’s memory.

He was 42.

Thank you for your generosity and support during this heartbreaking time.
