Scott Evan Burgett

Scott Evan Burgett, 35, of rural Humboldt, Nebraska was born on May 31, 1982 in Pawnee City, Nebraska to Ricky and Marilyn (Kuhlmann) Burgett.  He grew up with his older brother Eric on the family farm outside of Humboldt.  He attended grade school in Humboldt and graduated from the last graduating class of Humboldt High School in 2001.  After graduating, Scott enlisted in the United States Army and began his enlistment on June 6, 2001.  He served his country until it was recommended that he would be honorably discharged after his father passed away from a farm accident.  Scott was honorably discharged on December 14, 2001 and returned home to be with his family.

Scott entered the workforce after the army.  He was united in marriage to Kristen Dutcher and to this 7-year union they were blessed with three children.  Scott was currently employed by the Village of Table Rock where he was the maintenance supervisor.  Scott had many interests and hobbies.  Some of his favorites included hunting, fishing, four-wheeling, tending to his cattle, teaching his children to farm, and spending time with his family and friends.  His most proud accomplishment was being a father.  Scott was very fun loving and easy to get along with.  He was a prankster and a jokester that he will be most remembered.

 Scott passed away on Tuesday, May 1, 2018, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska having reached the age of thirty-five years and eleven months.  He was preceded in death by his father Ricky Burgett, fraternal grandparents John and Esther Burgett, and maternal grandparents Reinhard and Leona Kuhlmann.
