Jack Sam Burnett, Jr., age 56, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2024, after a courageous battle with cholangiocarcinoma. Born on January 21, 1968, Jack lived a life filled with love, laughter, and a deep devotion to his family, friends, and passions.
Jack married his soulmate, Kristin Leigh Sizemore, in April of 1995, and together they built a life centered around love, laughter, and togetherness. He was a devoted husband, an adoring father, and a proud grandfather.
He is survived by his beloved wife Kristin, his sister Lisa Jurchenko (Andrew Jurchenko), and his three cherished daughters: Emma Burnett Webb (Chris Webb), Claire Burnett Wilson (Max Wilson), and Alyce Burnett Head (Wesley Head).
His sons-in-law, whom he lovingly referred to as his “best friends,” were a source of pride and joy. Above all, Jack was the proud grandfather of his precious granddaughter Eleanor (“Ellie”) Webb, the light of his life.
Throughout his career at Union Drycleaning Products, Jack dedicated himself wholeheartedly, forging lifelong friendships and leaving a lasting impact on those he worked with. He was passionate about travel, never turning down a Disney cruise, a vacation to 30A, or a trip to Disney World, but his greatest passion by far was his family — his “Ohana.” His favorite moments were spent with his loved ones, no matter the occasion, as long as they were together.
Jack was an avid fan of Harry Potter and all things Disney, but nothing compared to the love and devotion he had for his family. His wife Kristin was not only his partner in life but also his best friend and the love of his life.
After a year-long, hard-fought battle with cancer, Jack is now at peace, free from pain, and reunited with his beloved mother in heaven. His strength, love, and warmth will forever be remembered by those who knew and loved him.
A celebration of Jack’s life will be held on Saturday, October 12th at 2 pm at the home of Stephanie and Joel Miller (305 Fallstone Path, McDonough, GA, 30253). In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation.
Jack’s legacy of love, devotion, and joy will live on in the hearts of his family and friends forever.
