David Kobbeman Burke, 70, of Palmer, Alaska, passed away on Thursday, January 20, 2022, at his home.
David was born May 21, 1951, in Sterling, IL, the son of Lawrence E. and Helen (Kobbeman) Burke.
He graduated from Woodlawn Grade School in Sterling and Newman Central Catholic High School in Sterling in 1969. He attended the University of Illinois in Champaign- Urbana.
Survivors include his wife; daughter and her husband; two granddaughters; three sisters and their spouses; along with several nieces, nephews and cousins and his beloved dog, Elsie.
He was preceded in death by his parents and older brother, Lawrence H. Burke.
He worked on the Alaska pipeline and later worked for the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation in their weatherization program. He enjoyed dirt track racing, fishing and the great outdoors. From the time he shot the TV screen with his BB gun (helping out the Lone Ranger) to the time he shot a stalking bear on his deck at Eagle River, Alaska, his life was full of adventures.
David will be greatly missed.
Arrangements were made through Legacy Funeral Home, Wasilla Heritage Chapel, Wasilla, Alaska.
