In Memory of William A. Burnard
In Memory of William A. Burnard
William A. Burnard, known in the community as “Bill,” was born in California in 1945. He moved his family to Utah in 1983 and worked as a butcher both out of his home and then later at Smith's Marketplace. In 2002, Bill sustained an injury that led to a prescription opiate chemical dependence. Many unfortunate circumstances led to Bill's mental health decline, legal challenges, and eventually living out of his car. Bill ended his life in February 2003. In honor of William A. Burnard, we dedicate a center as a safe and warm place to stay for the unsheltered.

“My Grandpa was an advocate for abused children. He gave so much of himself to our community. His story illustrates how life’s challenges can cause people to struggle in ways that they never could imagine. Establishing a warming center will save lives by providing a safe, warm, place for community members to take refuge during the coldest nights of the year.”
