It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nicholas E. Burton, beloved son, brother, father, and friend, who left us on January 12, 2025, at the age of 42. Nicholas, known for his infectious smile, warm spirit, and larger-than-life personality, was a cherished member of his family and community.

Nicholas is survived by his parents, Ron Burton (Joan) and Alice Collins (Dan), his two children, Trinity and Jayden Burton, his brothers Tim (Becky 2), Sean (Becky) Burton, and Tony (Ginger) Collins, his sisters Dana (Mike) Board, and Debbie (Charlie) Bain, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, many special friends, and his special caregiver, Aunt Fay, who will forever miss his presence. Nicholas was preceded in death by his grandfathers Raymond Washburn and Paul Collins, and grandmothers Dola Washburn, Evelyn Burton, and Mary Lou Collins.

Nicholas had a passion for bringing people together, often attending family events and gatherings that would create lasting memories. He was an avid participant in bowling, poker, pool, camping, fishing, and winning Connect 4, finding joy in both friendly competition and quiet moments with loved ones. However, one of his greatest loves was spending time with his family and sharing meals with them, especially enjoying his brother’s cooking, which he always looked forward to. 

Nicholas will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and the deep love he had for his family. He had an incredible ability to make everyone around him feel welcome and valued. His spirit will live on in the memories he created with each person who had the privilege of knowing him. 
A celebration of his life will be held at Memorial is at
