David Burtson — 1948-2018
Longtime South lake Tahoe resident David Burtson died peacefully June 6, 2018, surrounded by friends and family in Modesto.
“Burt” lived in Lake Tahoe from 1956-2014, attended Lake Tahoe schools and worked at Barkley Meat company from 1964-2006.
He was 70 years old, and as a faithful Jehovah’s Witness looked forward to a future life on a paradise earth.
I worked with Burt at Barkley in the 1980’s and he was a very thoughtful and funny individual. I will always remember morning coffee breaks, reading the SF Chronicle (Herb Caen in particular) and collectively solving all the problems of the world. RIP Burt.
