Kevin Dallas Burnett Kevin Dallas Burnett Obituary Kevin Dallas Burnett, 60, died on March 28, 2022, at his home in Lindon, Utah, following a 15-month battle with Colon Cancer. His family was with him at the time of his death. He was the son of M. Dallas and Patricia MacArthur Burnett, and was born on August 20, 1961, in Columbia, Missouri. Kevin is the oldest of four siblings. Kevin married Raelene Monson in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on December 28, 1984. He is survived by his wife and their three children: Brennan Kevin (Taran) Burnett, Olivia Elizabeth Burnett, and Hunter Dallas Burnett. After graduating from Orem High School, Kevin attended Brigham Young University for a year, and then served in the New Mexico Albuquerque Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He graduated from BYU in 1985 with a degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. His professional life has been spent almost entirely as a software engineer. He started at General Dynamics in San Diego, California, returned to Utah to work for Novell, and at the time of his death was with Oracle. His dedication to never leave a problem unsolved operated in both his work life and in his service to family and friends. He was simply tenacious at resolving challenges. He not only solved problems but he gave freely of his time to any one who needed his help, especially when it was technical. It was Kevin’s good fortune to do some interesting international travel. As a BYU student he studied in London, England, with additional trips to Ireland, Israel, and most of Europe. While at Novell he participated in what the company called “Brainshare,” which took him as far away as Australia and as close as Mexico.. Kevin and Raelene have been devoted parents who supported their children to the nth degree in music, athletics, and scholarly activities. This was a family who worshiped together and played together, inside and outside the home. Kevin’s service to his Church included an assignment as an executive secretary and clerk to four successive bishops in his ward. In addition to his wife, three children, and a grandchild named Claire, Kevin is survived by his father, M. Dallas Burnett, his step-mother, Annette Brantzeg Burnett, and his three sisters: Denise (Kevan) Barney, Michelle (Debbie Robb) Burnett, and Jodi (Mike) Serassio. He was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia MacArthur Burnett.
