It is with a heavy heart that I write to tell you that my father, Clarence "Wes" Burkhart, suddenly passed on September 1, 2025. It is a very painful moment for our family right now, and we are trying to mourn.

We want to give Wes a celebration of life reflecting who he was and how much we loved him. However, the cost of the cremation has come up very suddenly.

To help cover these costs, we’ve started a GoFundMe. Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean so much to us.
