Cary Dean Burns

Cary Dean Burns, passed away suddenly Thursday, October 2, 2014. Cary was Christened at St. John United Methodist Church as a baby and attended there as a child. He had accepted Christ as his personal Savior as an adult and we know God is wrapping him in His everlasting arms. Cary battled addiction for 30 years and his beating heart has been silenced by this struggle. He had a loving heart and good soul that will be a comfort for those of us left behind.
