Trevor Joseph Burns, 37, a beloved father, son, brother, and friend, passed away on Sunday, February 22, 2026. Trevor was a resident of Lincoln, Nebraska, but his journey began in Maryville, Missouri, where he was born on June 3, 1988.

Trevor was a dedicated meat cutter, a profession he excelled in for 21 years at HyVee starting in Maryville then transferring to Lincoln. His commitment to his craft was admired by colleagues and customers alike. Beyond his professional life, Trevor had a passion for reptiles, a love that began in his childhood and continued throughout his life. He was an avid hiker who was often found exploring the majestic Rockies and had the distinction of climbing Mt. Elbert. Trevor also had a talent for sculpting, creating pieces that reflected his artistic spirit. One of his unique interests was exploring old cemeteries, where he found peace and inspiration in reading headstones.

Trevor is survived by his loving family: father, Joe (Robin) Burns, Pickering, MO; mother, DaLene (Dan) Brown, Grant City, MO; his cherished daughter, Audrey Kay Burns, Lincoln, NE; brother, Trey Burns, and sister, Tiffany Burns, both, Maryville, MO.
