Shawn Burke Obituary
We are truly honored to have gone through this journey with Shawn. Now at complete peace, Shawn will be remembered with love and for his compassion, energy for life and unequaled kindness. Those who knew him, share the loss of a good man who was passionate about theater, classic cars, fast cars, BBQ and blues. He touched the lives of many as 'Cool' Uncle Shawn, a beep baseball competitor, a builder of grain bins and for the last twenty years, a self-employed vendor.
Although Shawn requested that no funeral services be held, for those that wish to remember Shawn, please pay something forward or perhaps make a donation to your favorite charity in honor of Shawn.
Luke 23:43: And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you shall be with Me in paradise.
