BURKETT, MICHAEL It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Michael Allen Burkett, age 47, on September 22, 2012. He was at home with his family in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Michael fought a valiant battle with cancer until the very end. Michael was born on July 12, 1965 in Long Beach California. He graduated with a degree in Architecture from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas and was a member of The American Institute of Architects. Michael loved to share the outdoors with family and friends through skiing, hiking, biking, and traveling. He was fortunate to have a career that was also his passion. He designed incredible structures we all can enjoy for years to come. Michael’s positive attitude, love of life and consideration of others impacted everyone who had the honor of knowing him. He will be missed more than words can say. Michael is survived by his wife Corlyn and daughter Arden, age 9; his parents Bob and Carolyn; brothers Dave and Greg; and many wonderful extended family and friends across the nation.
