Peter Mwale Burnett

Peter was born on August 23, 1997 just after the big flood in Lusaka, Zambia. The last of 11 children.

After the death of both his parents, before the age of 5, Peter became a child of the world and was raised by a village, he immigrated to the United States in 2010 where he earned his blue belt in Tae Kwon Do, played soccer, football, and made the swim team. He loved to ride his bike, skate board and was always up for a good joke.

He graduated high school, got a job as a mechanic’s assistance and then later worked odd jobs while like every 20 something, tried to figure out what he wanted to do in life.

Peter’s memory lives on in his surviving village that include his Great Grandmother; Grandmother, Rhoda Mushine; his loving sister, Marjory Ham and 6 other biological brothers and sisters.

He also leaves to cherish his memory, his adopted family: Grandmother, Carole; Mother, Megan; father, James; and brothers, Lyson and Willy; his Foster family, and his CASA, Paula Hughes.

A thoughtful and kind friend who believed in the goodness and love of God. Although taken too young, his memory will be our blessing.

A graveside service for Peter will be held Friday, March 25, 2022 at 11:00 AM at Chestnut Grove Cemetery, 831 Dansville Rd, Herndon, VA.

A celebration of life will occur Monday, March 28, 2022 at 11:00 AM at Mullins & Thompson Funeral Service, 186 Shelton Shop Rd, Stafford, Virginia 22554.
