John L. Burns Obituary
With solemn reverence, we commemorate John L. Burns of North Reading, Massachusetts, born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, whose life came to an end on March 11, 2026 at the age of 85, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As we bid John farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For John is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Joseph H. Burns and Mary Burns (Sweeney); and his siblings, Mary Foote (late David) of Binghamton, NY, Joseph Burns (Judy) of Saugus and Patricia Dooley (late Leo) of Reading.
He is survived by: his daughter Ellen Burns of Newton; and his siblings, Dorothy Clark (Paul) of Wakefield, Brenda Coronite (late Albert) of South Weymouth and David Burns of Londonderry, NH. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
