William G. Burnett

William G. Burnett passed away peacefully at his home in Cleveland, Texas, on February 9, 2025, surrounded by his beloved wife, twin brother, and sister-in-law. He lived a life of service, dedicating over 30 years as a firefighter and paramedic with the Houston Fire Department while remaining devoted to his family and friends. 

Through out his adult life, William worked tirelessly, rising before the sun and finishing his day as it set. A man of skilled hands and a craftsman's touch, he could fix anything and took immense pride in his work, ensuring that whatever he built or repaired stood the test of time. 

William's love for his family and friends was unwavering, expressed through his steadfast support in all circumstances. He was a man of few but meaningful words, never one to complain - he simply did what needed to be done. He was an exceptional father, deeply respected and cherished of all who knew him. Though William will be profoundly missed, his legacy of strength, honor, and love will live on in his wife, brother, sister-in-law, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and closet friends. His impact endures, and his lessons will continue to shape those he left behind. 

We find solace in knowing that he will continue to watch over us putting out the fires of life from above and guiding us through life's challenges. In our hearts, he will forever be our hero. 

"It's closing time."
