Bryan Burns (1988-2022) loved baseball and his family
His family asks for thoughts and prayers as they grieve.
Bryan Robert Burns of Roscoe went to be with God on February 2, 2022 at the age of 33. He was born November 1, 1988 in Indianapolis, Indiana to Randy and Linda Burns.
Bryan was strong, athletic, and extremely competitive. He was an all-around athlete, but one of his true love in life was baseball. Growing up, his traveling team made it to the Little League Regionals, and he played on the Field of Dreams.
After receiving his GED in 2006, he went on to attend school at Rock Valley College where he played baseball. Shortly afterwards, he started a small business. In 2016, Bryan married the love of his life, Jill Burns. Bryan was a devoted father, and his children were his greatest joy. Of all his accomplishments, Bryan’s children were number one and the very center of his heart and soul.
