January 17, 1971 – November 13, 2023
Douglas Neil Burke age 52 years passed away on November 13th, 2023, at Rocky Mountain care center Clearfield UT due to natural causes. He was born on January 17th, 1971, in Birmingham AL to Elizabeth Ann Kneisley and Neil Edmund Burke.
Doug was a graduate of Kearns High School in 1989 and joined the workforce of customer service where he met some of his closest friends and partners in life. His favorite pastimes were writing stories as well as playing D&D with close friends and family. He was an avid fan of all Geek culture and had many “words of wisdom” that he very much enjoyed passing down to anyone that would listen.
Doug is survived by his children Gregory Burke and Hiro “Nox” Burke, his mother Elizabeth Druce, and siblings Randall “Ed” Burke, Kent Burke and Merrilly Dombrowski. He was preceded in death by his father Neil Burke.
A celebration of life will be held in January 2024. Details to be determined.
Interment will take place privately for immediate family under the care of Dalton-Hoopes Funeral Home and Cremation Center.
In lieu of flowers we have set up a go fund me for Doug’s two children: https://gofund.me/06f83fae

Doogle will always be one of my favorite people. He started out being my brother’s friend and ended up being part of my family. I love you, Doug! go in peace brother.
He was known as Silent Bob and he was a genuine friend and father! He will be missed and loved by many! He came to my send off when I joined the Air Force! He’s a big part of my family
I’m so sorry to hear of Doug’s passing! I knew him originally from working with my dad and they became friends and then he shopped at the Smith’s I worked at where he’d always visit with his son Greg and talk to me! He was such a sweet and friendly guy, we’d nerd out talking about all things FanX, game, and movie related! I always loved our chats and missed seeing him when I eventually quit in 2020 after having my first son, so I was saddened to hear late of his passing! I wish his kids and family my condolences and know he made a forever friend of my family and I!
