of North Little Rock, AR
January 27, 1993 - June 7, 2023
Brianna Terri Burton, 'Bri', was born on January 27th, 1993 in Little Rock, Arkansas, and departed much too soon on June 7, 2023 in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
She was preceded in death by her Narnie, V. Carol Dow Verboon, her dear Grandpa, Gail T Burton, and her precious poodles Shasta and Pepsi. She is survived by her partner Mike Cruz and her puppies Ronda Ruffy and Karen; her mother, Rhonda Hayes (Doyle), and her father Leonard Burton; sisters Michelle Rhodes and Malleri Rhodes; her niece Alexis Spears and her nephew Anderson Calhoun; her grandfather Bob Verboon (Kay) and grandmother Barbara Burton; aunts Terri Baird (Victor), Ramonda Travaille, and uncles Paul Burton, John Burton, Joel Burton (Karen), Randy Verboon (Kristi) and many cousins who loved her very much; and more friends than can be counted whom she considered family.
Brianna was fiery, spirited, and had a unique and contagious sense of humor. She was the most thoughtful and loyal person when it came to those closest to her. You could always count on her to show up for you in a crisis or a good time in equal measure. She loved all animals deeply, not just her own. Everyone who knew her has a funny or happy memory shared. She will be terribly missed.
In her honor, and because she loved to be surrounded by her friends and loved ones, A celebration of Brianna's life will be held at Sticky Fingerz in Little Rock, Arkansas on Friday, June 16, 2023, at 7:00 PM. A memorial will be held at First Baptist Church, Benton, Arkansas, on Saturday, June 24, 2023, at 1:00 PM.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her memory to a local animal shelter.

I love you girl. We were supposed to hang out soon and last time I asked you were working and we were going to try again later. I hate we never got to do that. You were there for me in a hard time and down to help me in any way. I can’t believe you are gone. Only the good die young ~

My heart is broken for you dear friend...no parent, especially a mama should have to suffer thru the loss of a child. I can't tell you which way to go, or say just the right words...no one can, but I want you to know I am here if you need me....and that isn't lip service. I'm so, so, sorry my friend.
