Burt

Mr. Rogers Burt was born June 21, 1934, in Itawanwa County. He departed this life on Thursday, August 1, 2024. He was 90.

He confessed his faith in Christ at an early age. He joined Jerusalem Church Nettleton.

In 1956, he entered into a holy wedlock with Geneva Walton, and to this union, five children were born. One of them, Marjorie Marie Burt, preceded him in death.

Mr. Rogers was a working man. He was a sanitation worker at Purnell Pride for many years. He worked at Marshell Durben after it changed hands. He retired after a work-related accident, but he didn't let that slow him.

Mr. Rogers started working lawn mowers and chainsaws. He had a vegetable garden during the summer and cut firewood during the winter until his health declined.

Mr. Rogers is survived by his wife, Geneva Burt; two sons, Lawrence Burt (Maxine) and James Burt (Kathy); two daughters, Gladys Burt and Barbara Burt Prude; four grandchildren, Nakisha Burt, Marcus Burt, Shana Hughes, and Sterling Prude; and three great-grandchildren, Nakirah Moore, JaMyah Hughes, and Jamarion Garth.
