Burnie was a friend to everyone that knew him. He loved kids and had respect for others. He always had a smile on his face. You will be missed Burnie!

Burnie lived on the main road at Baisden between right hand fork and baisden fork. He lived across where a little community store was. Down below the old Rosa Baptist Church. He was a very kind man who everyone remembers as being the life at the school. He made everyone smile. He has no immediate family but does have a aunt and cousins. He will be greatly missed. This is such a terrible way to died and I hope that if any foul play was involved that the guilty parties are caught. REST IN PEACE BURNIE!!! YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!!
