Obituary of Michael Joseph Burke
Our hearts are shattered to share the sudden passing of the man, the myth, the legend - Mayor Mike Burke, on November 3rd. Best known as Dad, Appy, Mike and Big Mike, he will truly never be forgotten, just how he would like it. Dad exited this world in true dad fashion, quick, abrupt, and painless after developing a fatal pulmonary embolism. As an avid obituary reader, I hope you are reading this on a sandy beach with Nanny Burke with a drink in your hand and your reading glasses on the top of your head.
Dad was a man like no other, hilarious, loud, outgoing and the biggest personality in the room. He was the only person who could quickly fill a room with laughter and clear the same room with a loud, deep voice and a stern look. He was the best of friend to Wayne and Ronnie. He worked for Don Brenton’s for 40 years as an annoyingly “hard worker” - although we all know he just drove around all day - (thank you to the ENTIRE Brenton family/coworkers). A true father figure to his nephews Matt, Mike and Mark. He was an uncle/cousin/nephew/ , a loyal brother to Theresa, Christine and Francis, entertaining travel companion to Sandy and Malcolm, and a hands-on son in law to Sandra and Jack for 39 years. Dad touched the lives of so many people

John Michael Burke

James and Maggie married in 1871 and their entry in the marriage register shows that James’s father was called John Bourke (the ‘o’ seems to have been dropped from the family name at some point), a shopkeeper in Louisburgh, and Maggie’s father was called Michael McHale, a landholder in Formoyle.
In 1874 James became a teacher at the Louisburgh National School. Their second son, Patrick Joseph, was born in 1876 and then in 1877 James and Maggie had a daughter called Mary Teresa.
Unfortunately, over the next few years, life became very difficult for James and his family. In 1878 James’s wife Maggie died from Tuberculosis at the age of 27. A few years later their daughter Mary Teresa passed away, her death certificate stating that she had been frail from birth.
James’s health was also failing and continued to decline over the next fe
