Emuel (Willie) William Burt, Jr, 53, born on August 9, 1968 in Taylor, Texas, gained his heavenly wings on February 7, 2022. Even though he was taken away from this world, his loving heart left a beacon of light with all those whom he touched.
Willie graduated from Bastrop High School in 1986 where he played baseball and loved working on cars. He spent his life in the automotive salvage industry doing sales, inventory, deliveries or anything that needed to be done. Throughout his life, he had a passion for racing and working on racecars. Most weekends you would find him at a racetrack helping others on their cars and being an all-around comedian with anyone who would listen.
Willie is survived by his father, Emuel (Bill) Burt Sr.; sisters Tammy Hilbig and husband Stevie, Margie Burt and partner Don Painter, Jessica Morquecho and husband Alfonso, and brother Michael Burt and wife Cherie, stepdaughter April Williams, nieces Sarah Merino, Sabrina Moncure, Kendyll Hurst, Melah Morquecho, Aria Morquecho, Kiaya Valdez and nephews Luke Hilbig, Johnny Ludwig, Ryan Ludwig, Braylen Crayton, Drake Burt, Dominique Burt and many other family members. He was preceded in death by his mother Deborah Vaughan, grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Emuel O’Neil Burt and Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Zucknick.
