Brien Christopher Burkett of Cedar Hill, MO was born February 12, 1969, in St. Louis, MO.  He passed away Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at the age of 56 years.

Brien enjoyed riding his Harley and being outdoors. His very close circle of friends Kevin, Dewayne, Tommy, Steven, Budwiser and Troy meant the world to him. He was always in the mood to have a good time. Most of all Brien loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

Brien was preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy Hilderbrand and James Burkett; his biological father, Frankie Horner; and one son, Ryan Burkett.

He is survived by two daughters: Samantha Burkett of St. Louis, and Jana Burkett of Lonedell; his stepfather, Rick Hilderbrand of Farmington; four grandchildren: Jakob, Everett, Aubrie, and Allison; three siblings: Randi Hilderbrand of Farmington, Little Rick Hilderbrand of Farmington, and Tommy McCutchen of Pevely; and many other relatives and friends.

A Celebration of Life for Brien Burkett will be held at a later date.
