Thomas BURKE Obituary
Tom was born on April 13th, 1956, in Houston, Texas to the late Wilford Lee and Roberta Jane Burke. He will be remembered for his love for his children and grandchildren, along with his ability to always make a room full of people come together and laugh.
He is survived by his children Andrew Burke (Jamie), Heather Roper (Aaron), Hillary Burke, his grandchildren Koven Burke, Jordan Mullins, Kennedy Burke, Kenton Loyd, Jade Roper, Jamie O'Lague, Toni Burke, his sisters, Allison Huntsman and Kelly Benvengi (Rosario), Debbie Thomas and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Thomas was preceded in death by his sister
Suzie Burke and parents Wilford and Jane Burke.
Though time has passed, our love and memories remain ever present. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at 1pm at Four Letter Word in Spokane, WA to cherish all the wonderful memories together surrounding one of his favorite times of the year.
To honor Tom's memory, the family encourages donations to American Kidney Fund or simply taking a moment to make the person sitting next to you smile.
Forever in our hearts.

I have wonderful memories of Tom, as he was our next door neighbor when we moved to Spokane. We lived in the military housing unit. He was always kind and thoughtful and made everyone smile. Sending loves and hugs to his family.
