Bryan Burke Obituary
In 1987, Bryan married Tammy Tillotson, a marriage that made him stepfather to Heather and Hali. He welcomed the role of being a dad with open arms. Bryan and Tammy had two children together, Cameron and Misty. Bryan re-married in 2001, to BillieJo Steevens, a marriage that gave him two more stepchildren, Skylar and Payton. From this marriage, his youngest son, Brett, was born.
Bryan simply did not know a stranger. He could strike up a conversation with anyone and had a roaring, infectious laugh. He had a way of lighting up any room he walked into and had absolutely the best bear hugs. What a force of light he was.
Bryan was preceded in death by his father. He is survived by his mother; sisters, Teresa Jones, Kathy (Mike) Ross, and Penny Burke; his children, Cameron (Morgan Davis), Misty (Sharon Blaney), Brett, Heather, Hali, Skylar and Payton; eight grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews, all who loved him dearly.
Services will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 408 N. 23rd Ave., Kelso, Wash. on October 11th at 3 p.m.
There will be a Celebration of Life for close friends and family on October 18th at Ashtown Brewery in Longview from 4 to 7 p.m.
