Obituary

William Lynn Burrows, lovingly known as "Weasel," passed away on January 14, 2025, at the age of 63. Born on October 27, 1961, in Danville, Arkansas, he was the cherished son of the late Landon "Doodle" Burrows and Mae Lee Rollans.

Weasel was a devoted father, loyal friend, and a man known for his kind heart, infectious humor, and love of life. He found joy in the outdoors, spending his days hunting, fishing, riding his side-by-side, gardening, and spending time with loved ones.

He proudly served in the National Guard before dedicating over 40 years of his career to Wayne Farms. A committed member of his community, he also served on the Havana City Council and volunteered for many years as a firefighter.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Landon "Doodle" Burrows and Mae Lee Rollans Burrows; his uncle's Jerry Rollans, Paul Adair, Jack Underwood, and Lytle Burrows; and his aunt Mary Hobbs.

Weasel's memory lives on through his family: his son, Jerry (Dana) Burrows of Atkins, AR; his daughters, Christy (Austin) Peterson of Carmichael, CA, Nauscha (Rick) Wiser of Havana, AR, and Erica (James) Brown of New Boston, TX; his grandchildren, Emma and Landon Wiser of Havana, AR, and Bobby and Pantera McJunkin of New Boston, TX; and a special grand dog, Melvin Peterson. He is also survived by his uncle Rick (Marilyn) Burrows of Charleston, AR; his aunts Myrna Konkel of Havana, AR, Martha Rollans of Fayetteville, AR, Punky Burrows of Roland, OK, Sue Taylor of Perkins, OK, Janetta Adair of Danville, AR, and Sharon Underwood of Havana, AR; as well as numerous cousins, extended family members, and friends.

Weasel's best pals and honorary pallbearers include Ernie and Tish James, Bob and Linda Cole, and Rick and Sandra Wiser, Tom Ernest, Kenny Konkel, Edwin Gray, and Greg Caldwell of Havana, AR, as well as Mike Peterson of Florida.

Pallbearers include Jacob Konkel, Matt Knight, Shawn Roddy, Rick Wiser Sr.  and Ron Wiser.

His legacy of love, laughter, and adventure will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
