Charles “Chuck” Burnett

Chuck is survived by his wife, Linda, his three children and their spouses, Kristoffer (Andrea) Burnett, Karis O’Neal, and Kortnye (Nick) Pace. He is also survived by his beloved grandchildren Allyson and Madalyn Burnett, and Gracie, Gavin, and Grant O’Neal. Additionally, Chuck leaves behind his mother, Nancy DeShazo and many brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his Father, Ross Burnett.

Chuck loved KU basketball, movies, video games, good food, his loyal chihuahuas, and most of all, spending time with his family.  He had a warm, charismatic personality that was endearing to all that knew him. He will be greatly missed.

In addition, a Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, May 20th, from 1 – 5 pm at Camp Hawk, 1801 SW 36th St, Newton, KS.
