Support the Burks Brothers in The Loss of their Brother

Donation protected
James and Jakason Burks have given so much to the wrestling community. But now they need your help. The Burks brothers were celebrating Jakason's NCAA National Championship on Saturday, and then woke up Sunday morning to find that their oldest brother Otis had passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. As they are both college students, they need your help to lay their brother to rest and honor his memory. Any amount will be greatly appreciated, but if you are unable to donate, please share this post with your network.

For those wishing to attend, Otis's service will be on Saturday, March 22nd at the Good Shepard Funeral home 3809 N 90th St Omaha, NE 68134. Visitation begins at 2:00pm with the funeral service immediately following at 3:00pm. A time of sharing will take place from 5-8pm at The Cabin Bar & Grill - 9226 Mormon Bridge Road

About Otis:
