Not a lot went right in Nick Baker’s life.

He was left to the foster care system as a child and died May 31, alone in his apartment in Texas, by his own hand.

But on Friday, about two dozen members of the only two families he really knew — Boys Town and the U.S. military — joined together to bury him with military honors at Omaha National Cemetery.

Nicholas Baker was 31.
