Dewey L.Burke of Rockford,Mi at age 77 passed on to his next adventure on March 
8, 2023. He was 77 years old. He was born on January 10, 1946 in Grand Rapids, 
to Eugene and Grace (Graham) Burke. Growing up, Dewey moved across Michigan 
regularly as his father's work with Grand trunk railroad required it. 
Eventually, his family settled in Ionia, MI where he graduated from Ionia High 
School in 1964.He enlisted in the U.S.Air Force that year and spent the next 
four years traveling the world.His USAF experience was a defining time in his 
life, and he spoke about it often throughout his years. 

In 1973, he married Janice Carol Colley and together they raised four children.

Dewey was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Norma Campbell. 

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Janice Burke, his children Daniel 
(Julie) Patterson, Tami (Jason) Reams,Jason (Barry) Marcus Burke and Ryan 
(Karley) Burke; his grandchildren, Cody (Kelsey)Pierson, Danielle (John) Hall, 
Kristen(Jake) Kenyon, Ethan Burke, Madelynn Burke, Brynn Reams, and Lilly Teams; 
and his grandchildren Gabe Pierson, Vivian Kenyon, Blair Pierson, and Elijah 
Hall. 

Per his wishes, he was laid to rest naturally at the Lakespur Conservancy in 
Westmoreland,TN. There will be a celebration of life gathering in Ionia,MI at a 
later date.
