David Michael Burcham, a dedicated businessman and beloved family man, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2026, at his home in Mulliken, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on December 3, 1958, in Lansing, Michigan the son of Robert and Viola (Campbell) Burcham.

In addition to his professional and family commitments, David had a passion for traveling, an interest that revealed his curious spirit and zest for life.
