October 17, 2024

It is with profound sadness that Donna, Laura and Liam Murphy-Burke announce the unexpected death of their husband and father, David Raymond Burke.

David was a good and caring man, devoted to family and friends. His greatest enjoyments came from coaching, counselling and spending time with the family. His new love was being a grandfather to Tye.

Born and raised in Teaneck New Jersey, David attended Loyola University (now Concordia) where he was a member of the Warriors basketball team. Having enough of the Montreal winters he relocated to British Columbia in 1985 and where he and Donna have resided since. David died at home the evening of October 17, 2024.

A celebration of life will be held Saturday November 2nd, 2024 at 2 pm, Sanford Hall in the Kwomais Park (13 Ave and 128 St). David wasn't a suit and tie guy so please dress comfortably. As parking is limited consider using the Ocean Park shopping Center at 16th Ave and 128 St and walking down to join David's friends and family.

In lieu of flowers please give thought to donating to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in his memory.
