Samuel Clarence Burke

Smauel (Sam) Burke was called to Heaven by our Lord on May 1, 2026, while under care at Sacred Heart Medical Center. Born in Seattle and into the Sell family to Anne (Sell) and Roger Burke. He was primarily raised by Anne, and his beloved Uncle George Sell in the Northport/Onion Creek area. He is survived by his wife Carol, his Brother Ron Burke and his sons, Michaels M Burke (Tammy), William A Burke (Stacy), George J Burke (Ellen), and Darrellyn N Burke (April, deceased), and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Sam was equally at home on the river catching fish or hunting for game in the woods. He was also a fixture at Northport sporting events. Sam was a beloved father to his own children, family members and innumerable people whose lives he touched along the way. Per his wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial ceremony. Our family asks to please think of a moment when you shared a beer or a laugh with our father, smile and say goodbye to him in your own way
