There will never be another like Mike Burke. He married into our family 47 years ago, the husband to my cousin, Jody Edward Burke. We all loved him as a brother. He was a great friend to my husband, Gene. If you needed ANYTHING, Mike was there for you. We have celebrated birthday\’s, cookouts, weddings, and funerals, as a family, coming together with support and love. Now we will all rally around Jody and their children as Mike did for all that have gone before him? As a Christian, I know we will all see one another again. My heart rejoiced when Mike gave his life to the Lord a few years ago? I thank the Lord for giving his life to save a wretch like me. God Bless Jody, Momma June, and their children.

Sending prayers and our love to Jody, and the rest of the family. Mike was one of a kind. God broke the mold with him. I have so many good memories of our family gatherings and Mike being at the center of it all. He loved to pitch horseshoes and host family/friends at any summertime cookout. He was a special man and will be missed but always remembered.

To all of Mikes family I’m so very sorry. What a heart shattering loss for each of you. Praying over all of you as you face the days ahead without him and encounter all your “firsts”. I know he will be deeply missed forever. Hugs all around. Sarah

Godspeed big Mike. My prayers for your family at sorrowful time.

I have many childhood memories that included Mike and Jody. Mike was always kind and helpful to all of us as kids. Prayers for family and peace as hearts heal from the loss of this good man as I remembered him to put much influence on many of us as we grew up around him. God Bless!
