Jeffrey Lee Burke passed away suddenly on Thursday June 16, 2011, in Darrington, WA. He was born on March 4, 1973 to Randy and Diane Burke in Everett, Washington.
He loved his daughters, family and friends deeply. He was fond of camouflage, his taxidermy, music and Mountain Berry Ice Cream.
Jeff enjoyed deer hunting, riding his motorcycle/quad, fishing, telling jokes, and Barbequing Chicken (which he was famous for). Jeff had a great sense of humor and always kept everyone laughing. One of his favorite past times was to grade the roads or move dirt….anything he could do from the seat of heavy equipment…always put a smile on his face! He always dreamed of getting a bear, going on a guided hunt, and owning a yacht, so he could wear boat shoes. Jeff will be missed very much and leaves this world…loved by many.
Jeffrey Lee Burke is survived by his wife Tammy Burke and daughters Katie Lee Burke, and Karlee Ann Burke of Arlington, Washington. Also surviving are his parents Randy and Diane Burke of Granite Falls and his Sister Lisa Monaghan of Covington, WA. Grandmother Mona Burke and Grandmother Lydia Watkin.
A Memorial Service was held on Thursday June 23, 2011 @ 5:00 pm at the Oso Chapel, with a Memorial Potluck that followed at the Oso Fire Hall. Thank you to ALL who came and shared memories & gave such great Support & LOVE to the family.
