Erin Burton Obituary

Sending my best wishes and condolences to Erin's family. She truly was an unforgettable athlete and teammate.

Kathy & family,
God's peace be with you in a special way this day as you celebrate the life of your daughter Erin.
Love to the family,
Bob

Praying for the repose of the soul of Erin. May her soul & all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
Amen.
God's peace to all of the family.

I was Erin's sophomore roommate at Duke and want to express my sincere condolences to her family. She was a force and could truly accomplish whatever she set her mind to. Erin was also funny, brilliant, and kind. It always baffled me that she would voluntarily get up well before dawn to go out on the cold water but her drive was incredible! I'm so very sorry for your tremendous loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Erin in Whiting. Her bravery in uprooting to move halfway across the country in pursuit of a new challenge during the height of COVID isolation was outshone only by the courage displayed throughout her battle. She had a positive impact on everyone around her. Her drive and positive outlook were infectious, and I´m thankful for the brief time we all got to know her. My sincere condolences to her family and everyone that called her friend.

I only knew Erin for a few brief weeks at 12 PS / VRU 300 in Whiting. In that short period of time she became a good friend and had the ability to make everyone around her to like her. Her warm presence made her an easy mold into the team.

RIP - Erin my good friend. We will truly miss you !

It was my pleasure, not only to teach Erin, but also to take her to school over the course of several years along with my sons and Willy Hutcheson. We became a family of sorts as we encountered several recurring characters on our route, including a cyclist we called "Blinky Butt."

Erin was such an intelligent, hardworking, upbeat student and put her all into everything she did. In short, she was a wonderful human being.

My deepest condolences.

I remember the joy of a family running the Charlestown Landing Race..forever young!

I rowed with Erin in college. She was a tremendous athlete and a force to be reckoned with! She maintained a prominent role on our team despite being injured much of the time, and coached our walk-ons to great success. In every way, Erin showed her exceptional commitment to the sport and to the success of her teammates. What an inspiration. I am so sorry to learn that she is gone.

Both a friend and a former co-worker, she was a great lady. Smart, funny, hard worker. She was very accomplished in her young life, but still so young for God to call her home.

I am a friend of Kacie´s in Spartanburg and have been praying for God´s supernatural peace and presence for you all through this long hard journey. We lost our 45 year old son with a brain tumor 3 years ago this January. My heart hurts with you all as a family as I continue to pray for peace and rest because there is no understanding this side of Heaven. There remains the "deep missing" but I have also experienced the deep love and peace of God that brings an abiding joy in life, in the midst of the sorrow, that comes from trusting our God who loves us even when we don´t always feel it. There is so much more eternally than we can even imagine or perceive than the brokenness of this world. May you be comforted and lifted up by His great healing Presence continually. With much love and shared sorrow with you, Cissy

Our prayers and sympathy are with you and your family. I had the pleasure of working with Erin and being a mentor in BP. We shared many stories of our experiences and aspirations. Family was always at the heart of the discussion. She will continue as a role model for many people.

Sorry for your loss. Erin was a very good engineer and a very active young lady! My condolences to her family and close friends!

Please accept my sympathy and sorrow for Erin´s passing. I worked with Erin and we were friends at BP. She will be greatly missed.

John and I were so sad to hear of Erin´s passing. She was a brilliant engineer and sweet friend. Prayers of comfort are lifted up for her family. We enjoyed our days of working together. So sorry for your loss!

I was so sorry to see the obituary in today's paper, as I was not aware of Erin's recent health battles. My sincerest condolences go to out to Erin's family, colleagues and friends. I have nothing but the fondest memories of Erin (as well as of John Michael and Jensie) as one of my favorite, most diligent and gifted math students. My most recent contact with Erin was online as I was tasked with selling a rowing skull that was donated to a local charity. Without first realizing who I was, in typical Erin fashion she reached out to me and offered an abundance of valuable information and expert advice. Her extensive resume' of accomplishments in both her professional and personal life is quite impressive, and she will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Erin.

I am a neighbor and friend of Kacie and have followed Erin's gallant fight against her illness these last two years. May God be with all of you during this sad time and may her love for life, her work ethic, and her fine character continue to inspire you and give you hope in the days ahead,

Sorry to hear about your loss!

Kathy,
So very sorry to hear about the death of Erin.
We will pray for God's peace for you & your family.
Love,
Bob Trainor, Bartlett, TN

Cathy, my thoughts are with you and your family. Sending lots of love from Boston, David

Please accept my deepest condolences. Erin was a pleasure to work with at BP Cooper River. And accomplished so much using her Engineering expertise to improve the safety of her coworkers.

Loved our Erin and her love for life. He said I rode like a girl...so I dropped him! That's our girl. Hope to see your sweet smile again and hope you're riding like the wind. Cathy-so sorry for your loss and much love to the Burton family.

Wonderful woman with an unbelievable fighting spirit. You will be missed my friend.

My heartfelt sympathy to the family. Erin was a co-worker and such a pleasure to work with. She will never be forgotten. With deepest sympathy as we remember Erin.
