Daniel David Burke was born on October 5, 1974, in Shell Lake, Wisconsin and passed away on October 18, 2025, in Fort Worth, Texas.

He honorably served in the Army as an Airborne Ranger, demonstrating exceptional bravery and skill.

Those left to cherish his memory are his mother, Debbie Burke; wife, Elizabeth Burke; sons, Joshua Burke and wife Yoslin, Brandon Burke and Andrew Burke; brothers, Lance Talbert and wife Melissa; aunts, Cindy Gilberg, Kathy Crenshaw and Becky Magers; uncle, John Burke; grandchildren, Lucca Burke and Liam Burke.

Daniel is preceded in death by his grandparents, John and Marjorie Burke, brother, Heath Beam.
