August 24, 2019
Michael Burroughs, Jr., 40, of Crawfordsville, AR, passed away Saturday, August 24, 2019, as a result of a tragic, work-related accident.
Michael is survived by his loving wife Lindsey Burroughs of Crawfordsville; his children Chandler, 16, Charlie, 12, Benjamin, 9, & Nora Lynn, 7; his mother Elizabeth Burroughs of West Memphis; his siblings Christina Bolden, Teresa Burroughs, & Jesse Burroughs.
He was preceded in death by his father Tommy Michael ''Mike'' Burroughs, Sr., and father-in-law Tracy Edward Pirani. He leaves behind a very large extended family as well as a large community of friends.
Michael is a communicant of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Crawfordsville. He was a devoted & loving husband, father, son, brother, & uncle. He adored his wife & children and is treasured by them. Most days started with him making an elaborate breakfast spread for Nora Lynn because they were the first two awake. It was not unusual for his kids to be with him as he worked & they were viewed as part of his crew. Michael was an avid hunter & fisherman who shared his love of the outdoors with his kids. He also shared this love with local children of the community by serving as a Crittenden County 4-H shooting sports instructor. Michael was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He was fun-loving (quite the jokester) and enjoyed adventures with his family. He enjoyed the ''oldies but goodies'' and passed this love of music on to others, including his children. Michael was wise beyond his years, extremely patient, hard-working, much-loved, and well-respected by all who knew him. He was a steadfast support to Lindsey, a stay-at-home mom who homeschools their four children.
The public vigil and silent prayer gathering will begin at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, August 28, 2019 at St. Michael's Catholic Church and will continue throughout the night. The praying of the rosary will begin at 10:00 AM on Thursday, August 29, 2019 at St. Michael's Catholic Church in West Memphis, Arkansas with the Catholic Mass to immediately follow. The interment will be at Crittenden Memorial Park, 2206 US-64, Marion, Arkansas after Mass.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Subiaco Academy Annual Fund in memory of Michael Burroughs: Subiaco Academy, 405 N. Subiaco Ave., Subiaco, AR, 72865 or donate online at www.subiacoacademy.us.

Our deepest sympathies and condolences to the whole family. Michael was such a great man. We all looked forward to spending time with him and the whole family on the range with 4H as well as various other events. Your family was very gracious bringing us into the fold when we were new to town and knew no one. It made us feel welcome. Michael was always joking and laughing. This is a tremendous loss to the family and the community. Michael will always be remembered by the Linn family.

I first met Michael years ago back when he first became a Zimmatic dealer. I was struck was his calm demeanor and easy going manner. His face always lit up with pride when he talked about his family.
