Gerard John Burke
September 27, 1954 - December 18, 2020
Gerard (Gary, Stony) John Burke of St. Louis, Missouri passed away peacefully at his home with his beloved wife of 37 years, Cathy (Burns), tenderly caring for his butt wound. In addition to his wife, he is survived by, his daughter Catie (Tony) Jarboe, grandson, Theo, brother Jerry (Sue) Burke, and a plumeria plant that refuses to die. He is preceded in death by his father, Jack, mother, Mary Ellen, and a 1979 International Scout. He enjoyed gardening, watching Jeopardy!, brewing beer, traveling, bird watching, swimming, holding court in his garage surrounded by friends, and saving everything “just in case.” His gre-Gary-ous personality will be missed by all. A celebration of life will be held on 4/10/2020 at Cliff Cave County Park at 1 pm, where we can tie a few on and share our favorite Stony Stories (Covid permitting). There will be a memorial service on Thursday, January 14th at 10 am. Location is Faith Lutheran Church, 6101 Telegraph Road, 63129. There will be a virtual streaming option available. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local food pantry.
