John Arthur Burton, 64, died on November 21, 2020 in Naples, FL surrounded by his family. Born in Atlanta, GA on May 18, 1956 to Hazel Erftenbeck and George Van Waters Burton, John lived nearly his entire life in Atlanta. He graduated from North Springs High School and then from Georgia Tech in 1978 with a degree in Building Construction. He worked as a builder with a commercial construction company for five years before starting his own residential building company. In 2019, John and his wife, Ann, retired and relocated to Marco Island, FL where John built his dream home. John was a very involved father and enjoyed many outdoor and boating adventures with his two children. He could fix or build anything, always with a great attention to detail and quality. Those skills combined with his consideration for others, his patience and ability to teach, and his diplomacy provided his children and all who knew him a model for living a full-hearted life with great integrity. John was a member of St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church for over 34 years. His active involvement included serving on the Vestry and as Junior Warden as well as many other church projects. For over 20 years he was very involved with the Boy Scouts and served as Scoutmaster for Troop 379. Over the years he provided guidance to many young men as they worked to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. John is predeceased by both parents. He is survived by his wife, Ann Fletcher Burton of Marco Island, FL., his son, Wm. Randall Burton and his wife, Jessica of Houston, TX, and his daughter, The Rev. Whitney Ann Burton and her husband, Steven Smith of Roanoke, VA. He is also survived by three siblings, Cathryn Lee Culpepper and her husband Warren of Big Canoe, GA, George Van Waters Burton and his wife Charlotte of Melbourne, FL, and Sally Burton Stone and her husband Nick of Nakomis, FL. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews. A memorial service celebrating John’s life will be held at St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church in Atlanta in the Spring of 2021 with a definite date to be announced. His final resting place will be in the Chapel of the Resurrection at St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church.
