My friend Mr. Kenny….you will be missed. Thank you for always being so gracious and caring. May God continue to shine upon your family. Get you rest my friend ❤
Kenny…from Circuit City to Dick Dyer Mercedes-Benz, you were the same honest, funny and always real brother that I came to know, love and respect. As a young guy in college, you took me under your wings and taught me how to sell. Years later you did the same for me at Dick Dyer. I was shocked to hear of your passing, but know you transitioned with a smile on your face and peace in your heart. Heaven gained a terrific angel. Until we laugh again, sleep easy brother!!!

Kenny was one of the most positive and friendly people you could have ever meet. I met Kenny while working at Circuit City over 25 years ago and we have remained friends to this day. I’m not sure Kenny ever met someone he couldn’t make smile or laugh. His humor was amazing, his personality infectious, and his friendship a gift.
Kenny you will be missed my friend. Everyone who knows you has experienced a loss There is no doubt that you touched each of their lives in a special way.
This week has been tough for our team at Dick Dyer Mercedes-Benz Volvo. We lost a long time valued team member. He will be missed. He touched every department with his wit and humor. One gift I noted, besides his excellent salesmanship, was his ability pull all people different backgrounds together. There was not a sport that I knew that he did not like. Nothing rattled Kenny he was steadfast. On his last day at work on earth Feb 14, 2022. He shared a scripture with his desk calendar Psalm 71:16 TLB “I walk in the strength of the Lord” the flip side he could see 1st Chronicles 16:31 KJV ” Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice.”
We will keep the family in prayer. Seeing that desk calendar gave me great confidence. RIPower
I did not know Kenny, but I do know his brother who is a very good friend. I extend my condolences to the family and to my best friend Hilary. I have heard many things about Kenny after his passing. Suffice it to say, based on all that I have heard, he was truly a man for all seasons.
May the Lord bless and keep the family at this time of sorry
Good night Kenneth and take your rest until we meet again. God please keep your loving arm wrapped around the family and all who knew him including the Brookland Church family. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I had the pleasure working with Kenny burden for many years at Circuit City. Kennywood later on would become my manager. He was always able to balance his working relationship and his friendship with me and I treasure the memories that I made with him. I always will remember Kenny’s big smile. My fondest memory of Kenny it’s when he and I attended a Frankie Beverly and Maze concert at the township and we were able to get backstage and take pictures with the band those were the good old days I’m going to miss you my friend rest in peace
My sincerest condolences to Kenny’s family. I will miss his hearty laugh whenever we were on the tennis court or when we encountered one another at church. I pray that God’s love and precious memories will bring his family comfort during this time.
To Sabrina, family and friends, I send my deepest and sincere condolences and prayers. May God be your strength and comfort during this time of bereavement. Kenny was an amazing guy, friend, tennis player to me. He will be missed.

“What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget”
Kenny my friend, You will be truly Missed!

May the many precious memories you established over the years help to sustain you during this difficult time. Kenny played basketball with me and tennis with my wife and sold us and our children a number of our vehicles. Kenny always displayed a kind and generous spirit. May your trust in a wise and loving God assist you in the days ahead as you deal with this physical separation.
To all members of the Burton Family, I send my sincerest condolences. You are all in my prayers. Kenny was a kind spirited and generous soul. He will be greatly missed. Heavens’ gain.
To the Burton Family,
God is near. As I reflect on my friends’ life I realized Kenny worked in a profession of service. His favorite sport (tennis) was a game of choices, service, and love. He chose a God that said, “whoever would be great must first be a servant…”
Kenny was a servant and “His Lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” Matthew 25:21
Know that the prayers of our family are with you.
