Nazerine Burney Sr.

Today is teacher appreciation day so I was looking for some of my favorite teachers. I was sad to find that Mr. Burney had passed and that I just missed telling him what a wonderful man, teacher and inspiration he was to many many students, including myself. Thank you Mr. Burney for all that you did for us...especially for those that struggled with math.Your goodness will be greatly missed. Westwood Class of 1985.

It saddens me to learn of Mr. Burney's passing. He was a remarkable person. As a teacher at Westwood Middle School, I worked with him for many years. He always took the time to listen, give advice, and help solve a problem. He cared about others and showed it in the way he lived his life. Although his earthly journey has ended, I'm sure he continues to work God's will from his heavenly home. My heart goes out to family and friends who will greatly miss him. May the good memories help...

Mr. Burney was my math teacher. I enjoyed his class so much. Always had an encouraging word. Truly a special person. May GOD comfort your family in this most difficult times.

I've been knowing Elder and Sis. Burney since I was ten years old. He was a father figure to a lot of people at Jerusalem. Seeing his kids grow up and serving God. Sis. Burney keep ur head up and keep the faith. He's in a better place. Robert, Sara, Issac, and Daniel keep your father legacy going. Finish what he started. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
