My name is Terry, While i didn't know this young man the comments in the guest book really got my attention and as our minds turn toward Easter may this dear family remember that God, can''t change law but our loving Heavenly Father who knew we would have this obstacle called death made a way for us to over come it, I am greatful for the knowledge of our savior and his atonement and it is through his atonement we can find peace and healing I know our Savior lives and loves us and may this family feel His love and peace during the tring time

Jonny has such a great spirit. I know he wants us all to remember all the good things he's influenced in us. Thank you, Jonny for hanging out at our house and feeling comfortable to share yourself with us.
My condolences to everyone whom Jonny touched and left inspiration. He's in a great place now, being the music he's always channeled.

Dear Monica, I'm so very sorry about Jonny, and you, and your family. I remember times when JT would bring Jonny over for the night. I remember fixing breakfast for the boys and JT had maybe 3 maybe four pancakes. For Jonny, I kept flipping and flipping and he kept eating and eating. Sometimes when they got their own breakfast, Jonny would down 3 huge bowls of cereal...it could have been the whole box of cereal. I felt good when I hadn't gotten up, many times he just helped him self and made me feel good that he felt at home. I'm sorry but I can't go the the viewing. The last time I saw Jonny I made him take off his shoes and socks and rubbed his feet as his neuropathy had gotten bad. I have neuopathy and have taken seizure medicines so we had a little in common. I don't want to see Jonny laying down as he was such a bigger than life large person....including his feet!! Please excuse me for not going to the viewing...I just want to remember him getting his feet rubbed. Love, JT's mom Shirley

Johnny, I am so honored that you choose to be one of my brother's closest friend for so many years. I knew you were special every time I got to give you a hug. I remember every time you would enter a room, you were so quiet that you would scare me, and in jumping up, I scared you too. Thank you for those brief moment memories. I will remember them always. Thank you for making my brother's life so happy. You touched my life by being friends with Violet and Christa We will love you always.

Johnny,
My little brother's best friend. Violet, (JT) loves you so much. Thank you for adding such light to his life. I was so happy to hear he got to play you your song at the end. You are such an important part of his life and I know your influence will continue. I love you for the friendship you gave to him. Take care and I'll see you on Saturday.

Johnny,
I know we didn't get to know each other very well, and I'm sorry for that. From working with you that summer at the pool, I saw a kind spirited person. You are amazing. I loved your band and I wish I got to see you perform. There are so many other things I wish I could say to make this mess go away, and bring you back. I couldn't believe that you could swim a 50 meter underwater without a breath. Supernatural. Rest in peace.

We all miss you Jonny...
Jonny was one of my close friends. Every time i saw him on stage his was happy, those will be the times that we remeber the most. Huge Jonny with his seemingly tiny guitar, always decked out in green just rocking out to the music. Everyone will miss you greatly... In our hearts and in his music, Jonny will always live on...
I love and miss you Jonny...
Love, Nikki

This person was the love of my life. My soul mate. By far just a greater person than all of us. He affected so many people's lives in so many different ways and I will forever be proud of him for that because he never even tried to make the impact that he did, other than with his music. I know that he changed my life for the good and it will never be the same. Every part of my being revolves around Jonny Burke. I love, adore and cherish everything I had with you, babay. With all of my heart, soul and mind.

I got to know Jonny a bit my senior year in high school. He was such a great kid- always so fun to be around. My old room still has glow in the dark stickers that spell out "Jonny is cool". Jonny is cool. I am so sorry for your loss.

Jonny's dad, Kent Burke and I were best friends. Jonny was only 1 year old when He lost his dad and mom and I lost my great friends. Kent had a tremendous influence on my music and my life. I spent many happy hours staying with them. Kent and I talked for hours and did hours of music. We even ran the hill together. I loved the kids and think of them as niece and nephews. I think it very fitting that Jonny followed in his father's footsteps and became a musician. I was privileged one time to hear one of his compositions at Christy and Ryan's house. I will treasure those few moments as I treasure my friendship and love for the Burkes. I am happy that he now is having a wonderful reunion with his parents.
