Nathan Burns Obituary

ROCHESTER — Nathan A. Burns, 30, 11 Lafayette St., died Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2010, at his home.

Born Jan. 7, 1980, in Rochester, N.H., he was the son of Mark Burns and Deborah (Thompson) Burns.

After graduating from Nute High School, Nate, who was a talented computer enthusiast, earned his associate degree from UTI in Phoenix, Ariz. He was married May 20, 2006, and despite increasing physical obstacles, he became a dedicated, full-time father of five. Nate's dry sense of humor and witty one-liners, his love of endless stray animals, and his devotion to his family and all Boston sports teams will be sorely missed.

Members of his family include his wife of four years, Vicki (Wiggin) Burns of Rochester; his children, Cody, Emily, Zackary, EJ, Nicholes Wiggin, all of Rochester; his mother, Deborah Thompson Burns of Milton; his father, Mark Burns and companion, Priscilla St. Pierre of Rochester; his sister, Laurel Burns of Milton; many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents.

A celebration of his life will be held Friday, Dec. 10, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the R. M. Edgerly & Son Funeral Home, 86 S. Main Street, Rochester.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Rheumatoid Arthritis Fund, Northern New England Office, 6 Chenell Drive, Suite 260, Concord, NH 03301.
