William Lloyd "Dub" Burnett, Jr. was born on June 17, 1946 in Des Arc, Arkansas;he was the son of William Lloyd, Sr. and Lois Mildrid (Pool) Burnett. Dub was raised in Sunray, Texas where he attended school and graduated from Sunray High School. He then attended Oklahoma Panhandle State University in Goodwell, earning his Bachelor's Degree in Physiology. He was united in marriage to Linda J. Dowdy on December 23, 1965 in Texhoma, Oklahoma where they made their home. Dub received his Master's inTheology from Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas. Dub and his family lived in many places including Texhoma, Oklahoma; Hardesty, Oklahoma; Rolla, Kansas; Westville, Oklahoma; Woodward, Oklahoma; Albuquerque, New Mexico; before settling back to Woodward. Although Dub lived in many places and held many titles his favorite titles were Husband, Father, and Friend; he served the Lord throughout his life as a Pastor; he also worked in sales and completed his professional life as a social worker which gave him the opportunity to help many children in bad situations.

Dub was a man of many talents, using his Pellet smoker grill was not one of them, although it did bring him great joy. He deeply enjoyed playing Rook, a card game that has become a family tradition. He was often seen using his Dyson hand held vacuum, vacuuming the entire house. He loved to laugh and enjoyed a good joke, and if you were loved you knew it by the level on which he would tease you to push your buttons. Dub’s greatest joy was his family; his wife, children, and grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. He also had a great love for southern gospel music.

His golden blonde hair and his laugh are something people who knew him will never forget.

Dub is survived by his wife Linda of the home; two sons, Michael Burnett and wife Tania of Lakin, Kansas; Jeremiah "Ja’Miah" Burnett and wife Lyndsey of Woodward; daughter, Rebekah Keepers and husband Matthew of Woodward; grandchildren, Aulton; Wyatt; Kyle; John; Cas; Kynzley; Kiah; and Bentley; great-grandchildren, Macksen and Walker; sisters, Brenda Walker and husband Alvin of Amarillo, Texas; Connie Duncan and husband David of Omaha, Nebraska; brother, Tommy Burnett and wife Shirley of Ponca City; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and many dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; one daughter, LaShell Burnett. Memorial contributions may be made to the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation for Heart Research with the funeral home accepting the contributions.
