Kenneth Burke Obituary
Kenneth's life was marked by dedication and perseverance. Known for his unwavering work ethic, he approached every task with determination and integrity - qualities that defined him throughout his life and left a lasting impression on those around him.
He shared 55 devoted years of marriage with his beloved wife, Cynthia (Bowser) Burke. Together they built a life rooted in love and family. Kenneth was a proud father to three daughters, Jamie Gallagher (Keith), Heather Camden (Michael) and Sommer Grant (Tyson), all residing in Florida. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren, Hannah, Makenzie, Olivia, Tanner, Sawyer and Sayla; and his great-granddaughter, Mabel. Kenneth also leaves behind his brother, Dennis Burke, and sister-in-law, Kathy, of Butler.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Marie Burke, of Fenelton; as well as his granddaughter, Zoe Grant.
Kenneth's memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him best. May his enduring spirit bring comfort to all who mourn his passing.
