Clifford John Bursch

1960 - 2017

March 29, 2017, was the last day our beloved family member, Clifford Bursch took his final breath. His health had been failing for several years but we will always remember him as healthy, fun, and full of life. He was a kind and gentle soul who loved animals, sports, his garden, and especially his family. He is survived by his mother, Pat Bogucki and his siblings, Bruce (Kathy) Howe, Randy (Marci) Bursch, Ray (Linda) Bursch, Michael (Emily) Leonard, Theresa (Vincent) Hennick and Marjorie (Kelly McDermott) Szweda and many nieces and nephews. He has joined his father, Wilton Bursch, in heaven where it is certain that they will have front row tickets to every sport event. Cliff was born on July 9, 1960, and resided in Seattle, WA, for his childhood years, and then moved to Lynnwood, WA, for the rest of his life. He worked in the restaurant business, first at Aurora Family Restaurant in Seattle, and then finally, at Shari's Restaurant in Mill Creek, WA. He was known for being a dependable, hard worker and a friend to anyone he met. As his heath declined, his garden grew. He stopped working at restaurants and started planting flowers. His final years, he could always be found outside, his hands in the dirt and his dogs by his side. This man had never done an unkind or selfish thing in his life and heaven has gained a truly wonderful soul. We will be having a memorial to remember him on May 6, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. at Creekside Church, 7011 226th Pl SW, Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043. We invite all to celebrate his life with us.
