Boutin was born on March 8, 1947, in Lafayette and he was a resident of Scott. As a young lad, Nolan enjoyed playing marbles with the neighborhood boys. Once he became a teenager he got into body building and became very good at it. Nolan played football for Northside High School. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, going out to eat, and occasionally playing golf. Nolan also had a love for dogs and had several of his own. In 1967, he was drafted by the U.S. Army and served his country from September 7, 1967 through April 11, 1969. His job duty was that of a truck driver delivering supplies during the Vietnam War. Due to the death of his father, Nolan was flown back to the states from Vietnam. He chose to return to Vietnam for an additional 3 months which completed his tour. It was not mandatory that he return but he chose to do so. He had tremendous love for his country. During his civilian life Nolan worked various construction jobs. He enjoyed attending church service on Sunday and reading paperback novels with his favorite author being Louis L’amour. His happiness and contentment did not require very much. Nolan will be dearly missed.
