Uncle Dillard loved to tease. Many hours were spent in Piedmont on Main Street at the kitchen table playing a child's card game "Old Maids". He and Aunt Sue would conspire (cheat HA! HA! ) so they would win every time. He would always convince me to play again, that this time I would not be "The Old Maid".. He would have that twinkle in his eyes and laugh and laugh. Over the years when I would see him he would always ask me if I want to play "Old Maids"
Prayers to my Cousins and their families as they Honor Uncle Dillard in his Home going Service.

DJ was my pastor, mentor, and a special friend. We played golf together, ran many miles together and participated in weight loss contest for a steak dinner. Our families were intertwined together and shared many meals. Jack, Cathy, and Suzanne I extend my deepest sympathies to the three of you.
We, the Evans family, mourn the loss of Rev. "DJ" Burrell. Through his ministry at Calvary AG, in Dade City, Florida, Rev. Keith Sr. (passed away in 2015) and Marilyn Evans received their first opportunity, in full-time ministry, as youth and music ministers. Their son, Rev. Keith Jr., was saved and baptized in water under Rev. Burrell's ministry at Calvary AG. Brother "B" was a mentor, a father, a grandfather, and a Godly example to our family. Even though ministry opportunities separated our families, we still kept in touch every year through letters, cards, and pictures. We will dearly miss him but we are comforted that Brother "B" is reunited with his wonderful wife, Doris, Rev. Keith Sr., and the many he has ministered to over the years. Well Done Good and Faithful Servant!

I just watched Uncle Dillard's tribute video here. It was a warm reminder of the many places and people that he touched. He and Aunt Doris were a handsome couple from the beginning. Cendy, Becky and our families wish you comfort and peace as you move through this change in your lives. He will be with you in spirit and his memories will go with you everywhere. Sherry
