I have so many wonderful memories of Burke, starting from the time he was only two. Even at such a young age its amazing how much personality he had. That great, big mischievous grin. The glint in his eye, and the adventurous and fearless nature that would stay with him his whole life.

Being with Burke was the most fun you could ever have. Whether it was dancing all night in a crowded bar, galloping across a green field or waiting in line to use the phone. Burke made everything fun. He made getting a cup of coffee and adventure. He had a zest for life that was unmatched.

He could have had such a big head. He was so beautiful, so gorgeous, athletic, smart and yet was so grounded., so sensitive, and so caring. He never wanted to talk about himself. He was always more interested in finding out how you were. He touched so many people n so many ways. All for the better. Burke led by example, and he was contagious. He made you want to be a better person, try crazy things and live life to the absolute fullest!
