T
imothy J. Burton, 59, who in his
shortened life touched many
with his love and humor, died
May 26, 2015, at his home in Superior
Township.
Tim was the son of Lester and Evelyn
(nee Kanat) Burton.
He was born in Detroit
on Oct. 29, 1955, and
grew up in Huntington
Woods. He was the
youngest of five boys
with one younger sister.
Tim's path to his true
vocation, teaching, was
full of adventure and
travel. He took several
stabs at college and, in
1978, he lived in the Virgin Islands
for an extended period, crewing on
sailboats and charters. On returning
to Michigan, Tim worked in home
construction and cabinet making and
became, in his words, "a hell of a car-
penter:'
A chance encounter led Tim back to
Eastern Michigan University, where he
discovered a passion for teaching. He
proudly completed his undergraduate
work, teaching certification and mas-
ter's degree in counseling. Just before
his 32nd birthday, he began teaching at
Ypsilanti High School, where he met his
wife, Carol (nee Steinke) McNaughton.
Tim finally found his
professional home when he
began teaching in the day
treatment program at Forest
School. Tim was a gifted
and dedicated educator,
committed to his students
and colleagues. He strove to
provide his students with
tools to succeed in life, as he
had, through his own hard
times. Tim was truly in
his element, giving his at-risk students
essentials they sorely needed to get by.
Tim was predeceased by his father,
Lester. He is survived by his wife, Carol;
his mother, Evelyn; brother, Eric (Lois);
brother, Lee (Roberta); brother, Tony
(Jane) and their children, Zoe and
Owen; brother, Peter (Sandi) and their
son, Chris; sister, Jody (Joe Slowins).
He is survived also by Carol's children
