I heard about Sean´s passing a couple of days after it happened. I still think of him often. Sean was a great friend & my favorite customer at the bank!

Dear Burke Family,
I am shocked and heart-broken to hear about Sean. He was my friend. We shared the passion of fine gardening and other things. He was grounded, real, down to earth, genuine, funny... and I know he had a deep love for his family. This is so very shocking.
We were texting two days before he died, and I'm very sorry to not have known about this until now.
Please know that you gave a wonderful person to our world. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

Dear Family,
I was so very sorry to hear of this news and my heart goes out to all of you. I have many fond memories of Sean at our house in Laverock, playing poker in our basement, often with my father included. It is such a tragedy to lose him at such a young age. From all of us, we send our deepest sympathy to Kevin, Jen, and the whole Burke family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Lisa Jablon, Joel Perilstein and family

It is so hard to believe we were talking to him on the 24th when he returned from plowing for like two days. He was a god neighbor and we had many talks about all of toys and projects.He will be missed. May he rest in peace.

Words feel inadequate and cheap to express love for the Burke family and send our condolences. My memories of Sean were always at Burke brothers displays and walks with the family. I know how special he was to everyone and how he and Kevin were two peas in a pod. Our love to you Jen and Kevin and hope that warm memories of how special he was will sustain you going forward.
