Victor Burns

Victor Burns, Sr. During the early morning of March 24, 2025, our dearly loved Victor Wade Burns Sr. passed peacefully from us to his eternal home in heaven.  He was 50 years old and proud to be known as Dad, Papaw, Brother, Father-in-law, and my handsome husband.  He also held dear to his heart his job at LSW one Stop working for his close buddy, Lance Waddell, as a mechanic (Wade would correct me to say “automotive technician” -haha).  Anyone who truly knew Wade knew what a huge, tender heart he had but that he would also kill for those he loved.  He would work extra hard and do without to give to his family first and do everything in his power to make us happy.  Wade loved his church family and most importantly loved his Lord Jesus Christ.  Wade had grown into a wonderful Christian man that we all loved so very much.  He loved going out on our pontoon boat, going fishing, mowing the yard, all time he spent with family and close friends, and he loved taking me to Cholula to eat Mexican. I don’t know how many times people made the comment that they could tell how much he loved me by the way he looked at me.  I will forever cherish the love you gave me Honey.  Until we can hold you again in our arms in heaven, we will hold you in our hearts here on earth.  I will love you forever, Your wife, Jennifer S. Burns.
