Daniel R. Burt's Obituary
Daniel R. Burt, age 55, of Spring Lake entered into eternal rest on Sunday, January 15, 2012. He was born February 25, 1956, in Muskegon to Roy and Dilla Marie (Kerley) Burt.
Dan graduated from Spring Lake High School in 1974 and remained a proud “Laker” all of his life. He attended Muskegon Community College where he wrestled and later became an assistant wrestling coach. He was a passionate and avid sports enthusiast – as a participant, coach, and spectator. He owned and operated several businesses, primarily In-Detail, Inc. Other than sports, he enjoyed spending time on the water, boating, racquetball, and golf. He was also a member of the Sons of the American Legion in Grand Haven.
Dan is survived by his mother, Dilla Marie Burt of Spring Lake; his only sister, Tamara Beth Burt of Spring Lake and Texas; and an uncle, Bill (Pat) Kerley of Savannah, GA. Other survivors include numerous cousins and many true friends. His father, Roy L. Burt, preceded him in death in 1974.
