Mr. Estep served in the military, graduated from college and retired as President of Adairville Banking Company, Adairville, Ky.

Burton was blessed with eight grandchildren, Michael Parsons, Amanda Gaston, Joshua Estep, Natalie Prince, Michelle Crow, Patrick Estep, Adam Estep and Benjamin Estep; and several great-grandchildren. Burton had a special relationship with his two daughters-in-law, Brenda and Angela, and the family thanks them for their loving attention to him through the years. A special thank you goes to his daughter, Julia, who has been his constant caretaker for the last 15 years. She stood by his side through each illness as tenderly as she served her mother during her illnesses. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, promises to fill her with many blessings for her honorable service.
Burton enjoyed music and his guitars and shared that hobby with many of his fellow residents at the St. Mary's Villa Independent and Assisted Living Centers in Nashville, Tenn., where he resided for the last several years of his life. He was always encouraging others to grab a guitar and join him in "I'll Fly Away." Today, he celebrates the Resurrection.
