Joe Louis you will be missed.  Joe Louis, young life in Mississippi was a great one!  He and my  Dad (George  Woodson) who is now deceased was cousins but rasied together like brothers.   To the family, may God Bless you all.  May God strengthen you all doing these times.  Love the Woodson's, the Burton's  and the Boyd's from Mississippi.   

I love you daddy and miss you so much💔
I will miss your smiles or your conversation when entering the house.I will miss when I visit and get ready to go home you say bye and wait in the door until my car pulls off.I will miss those good neckbones and pig feet mesls on Sunday....he was a Mississippi boy ...strong hard working man ❤Daddy until we meet again...Dad would say everything is going to be alright...its alright daddy...we gonna be alright

I remember Mr. Burton being a very kind man. The best memory I have of him, is when he drove us all the way to Washington to Obama’s inauguration. Mr. Burton was for sure a trooper for making that drive, making sure that we all made it safely there and back😊 Gonna miss your spirit and the love you always showed to your family, Rest In Peace Mr. Burton🙏🏾

Mr. Joe that’s what everybody calls my daddy. Joe came from his childhood so they called him Joe Louis like the boxer. I talked to one of my friends and He said he could still hear Mr. Joe calling my sister and I, sibbyyyy, kammm when we were way up the street at another friend’s house, lol, that’s my daddy. You know what, we could hear it and we’ll come running back down to our house. We had better be in the house before the street lights came on. Before we could go outside  homework had to be completed and checked by my momma. We were in the house and asleep by 8pm, or at least they thought we were. Kam and I would be upstairs tiptoeing around looking out the windows  because we could hear our other friends still outside, then he’ll hear us and he would open that door and say “didn’t I tell y’all to go to sleep, man  we would jump back in our beds and we didn’t move, lol. My daddy would also come upstairs to check and see if we had our blankets over us, his way of tucking us in, but he would say kiba instead of blankets and we would be under the blankets laughing as he went downstairs, saying to myself kiba what’s kiba. My daddy later said his daddy said kiba was covering. He talked to us about so much of his growing up. Mr. Joe didn’t play, my daddy didn’t play, Mrs Burton didn’t either, lol, we were very mindful of our parents. I was always Thanking my daddy and my momma for my Beautiful up bringing. My family, we’re truly Blessed by Jesus for this great man. He raised us up like Jesus told him too. You didn’t hear him say out loud Jesus but I did hear him say “Lord how mercy” all the time and that was his way of Thanking the Lord. He was well respected, because he gave respect to others. I Love you daddy, forever.❤️😘

My name is jermon Chesser.  I am his son-in-law,  husband of his youngest daughter who is Shawnda Burton.  I remember he was always smiling when he saw me and he would look for me if I didn't come by with her.  He was also a Mississippian like myself.

My daddy Mr. Joe Burton, a wonderful, loving father. Retired for many years and loved by his many co workers and friends. He started his own Lawn care business after retirement, a hard working man he was and he use to say when I would say I'm tired, "what ain't no such thang as tired. I Love you daddy and I'm going to miss you so very much. You are certainly loved by everyone.  My daddy,  like my friend said, he was the neighborhood father.  Well daddy you're sleeping with Jesus now, you're resting. You're with your many love ones who passed on before you. I'm happy knowing you're with Jesus daddy and Spiritually I'll see you again, for this is my hope. ❤
