The two-story home of the Burnham family on Henry Place Boulevard collapsed, trapping two of their three children under the rubble. Neighbor Billy Urban was the first on the scene, and he pulled the children from the debris, their father Kyle Burnham told Clarksville Now.
“I owe him so much. He saved our daughter,” Burnham said.
Sadly, their son Arlan Garrick Coty did not survive. Arlan was a fourth-grader at West Creek Elementary School.
“My son was amazing,” his mother, Katherine Burnham, said. “There is no one in this world like him. Anyone that has ever encountered him is experiencing a loss.”
“They’re a great family, truly wonderful people, and I hate that they’re having to deal with this,” said Burnham’s supervisor, Brian Burkeen at Wyatt Johnson Toyota. “They’re trying to piece things back together.”
