Shawn was born on April 28, 1980, in Nampa, the son of James and Judy Burton. He was reared and educated in Nampa, graduating from Nampa High School in 1999. Shawn worked his high school years at Paul's Market in Nampa and spent the last five years at Micron Technology in Boise. He always knew how to turn work into something fun and crazy. Shawn was an outgoing, fun-loving person that could make anyone have a good time. He always had a smile to share, and saw the good in every situation. Shawn loved his friends and family deeply and enjoyed spending any time with them that he could. He loved disc golf, snow/wake boarding, motorcycle drives, and being outside with his wife and dogs. Shawn enjoyed all medias of art, especially photography and the computer manipulation of photographs. He liked watching UFC, movies and just simply chatting with friends. Shawn attended Crossroads Community Church where he met his wife and had many loving "family members." Shawn was excited and preparing for his first child due in August. He was greatly looking forward to fatherhood and the future of his family. Shawn is survived by his wife, Sarah Burton and unborn son, Ezekiel Burton; his parents, James and Judy Burton; sister, Jennifer Brock, all of Nampa; countless cousins, friends, and "adoptive" family members who love and will miss him deeply. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Verbal and Albert Watson; his grandmother, June Burton and his Aunt Janet Bower. A memorial fund for Shawn's son has been set up at Northwest Christian Credit Union, 716 E. Colorado Ave., Nampa, ID 83686 and there is also a branch office in Boise. The account is in the name of Sarah Burton for Ezekiel. Published in the Idaho Press Tribune on 7/23/2008 Guest Book • Funeral home info • Flowers • Gift Shop • Charities |
