Give William Burke a Peaceful Farewell

Donation protected
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved William (Bill) Burke, who left us on July 26, 2025 while traveling home from visiting his mother from down south. His loss has left a deep void in our lives, and we are devastated by this sudden goodbye.

We are reaching out to our community, family, and friends to ask for help covering the unexpected costs of Bills cremation and service. During this difficult time, your support means everything to us. Any amount, no matter how small, will go directly toward:
• Cremation services
• Memorial arrangements
• Urn, Obituary, travel for family etc.

Bill was kind, generous, full of laughter, and caring. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone that needed it or help out no questions asked. He was someone who found peace by the water — whether casting a line or simply watching the waves roll in. His love for fishing and the ocean was only matched by the love he gave to those around him. We just want to give him the peaceful farewell he deserves.

If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to help us reach others who may want to support.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this time. We are truly grateful.
