Mr. Burnett was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he grew up and graduated from high school. He proudly served our country in the U.S. Navy. An expert electrician, he worked in Civil Service in Indiana until he was transferred to Civil Service at Robins Air Force Base in 1996, from which he retired. Nick enjoyed watching NASCAR and most all sports, especially basketball. His favorite past time, though, was playing golf. He was preceded in death by his father Lawrence Burnett.
