Kevin David Burleson was a devoted husband to Gracie and a loving father to Kirsten, Hayley, Isabella, and Maximilian. Family was at the heart of his life, and he took great pride in guiding, supporting, and celebrating his children’s achievements. From a young age, Kevin also dreamed of flying. He earned his Private Pilot’s License at 18 and pursued a lifelong career in aviation, serving as a Captain for American Eagle Airlines and as a First Officer for American Airlines. Known for his curiosity, love of learning, and sense of humor, he inspired everyone around him both in the cockpit and at home.
