Loren “Red” Burnett

Loren “Red” Thomas Burnett of Sandwich, Illinois, formerly of Webster City, Iowa, age 86. Beloved husband of Billye Burnett, loving father of Bradley, Charles, Katie, and stepson Jason; special father-in-law of Teresa and Josh; proud grandfather of ten; fond uncle of many.

Loren was in education and coaching. He then turned to the business world, working as a Crop Hail Manager for Hartford Insurance/Pro Ag. He was an Oklahoma Sooner's football fan and was always up to watch a Cubs game.

His heart was in nature and the woods. He shot countless deer, and the squirrels didn't have a chance. He loved his fishing companions and their annual trips to Canada. He was so proud of his family and loved spending time with them.
