Adrin “Scotty” Burks, age 66, passed away on Saturday, October 24, 2026.

Scotty was born on January 16, 1960, to the late Spencer and Leenell Burks.

Scotty spent many years working for Kiser Trucking and took great pride in owning and operating his own truck. Known on the road as “Carbide,” he enjoyed the friendships he made with his fellow truck drivers throughout the years. Scotty had a special talent for finding the best places to eat, and he always knew where to find a good banana split. Above all, Scotty loved the Lord. He found great joy in attending church, listening to gospel music, and sharing his faith with others. Whether he was on the road or spending time with those he loved, Scotty never missed an opportunity to talk about the Lord.

In addition to his parents, Scotty was preceded in death by three brothers, Spencer “Rick” Burks Jr., Dennise Burks, and Danny Burks; one sister, Kathy Vance; and one sister-in-law, Barbara Burks.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Tracy Burks; his two sons, Chad Ryan Burks and Clay Tyler Burks; his grandchild, Alayah Burks; his sister, Donna Keene (Joe); his three brothers, Dave Burks (Stephanie), Doug Burks (Dawneda), and Nick Burks; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Gaye and Wendell Hart; his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Scott and Christina Hart; his special nephew, Clint Hart (Taylor); his soon-to-arrive great-nephew, Bo Hart; and several other nieces and nephews.
