Stephen Randolph Burke

Stephen went to St. Mary’s Boys School and sang in the church choir. He cared for his mother and he enjoyed police books and magazines and kept a scrapbook on them all. His favorite picture is of his nephew, Joshua who is a policeman.

Stephen was very kind and liked to help people. He will be sadly missed by his family especially his mother who shared the same birthday.

He is survived by his mother; sisters, Debbie Collins (Harvey) of Clayton Park, Beverly of Halifax and Starlene Murphy (Peter) of St. John’s, NL; brothers, Ronald of Northwood Manor and Thomas of Sackville as well as many nieces and nephews. Stephen was predeceased by his brother, Richard; grandmother, Leona Thompson and great-grandmother, Florence Demone (Thompson).

Thank you to everyone who cared for Stephen. Donations in memory of him may be made to the Halifax Food Bank or to a charity of choice.

A memorial service will be held for Stephen at St. Mary’s Basilica, 5221 Spring Garden Road, Halifax on Monday, May 2 at 10 am with burial to follow at Fairview cemetery. To leave an online condolence, please visit: www.cruikshankhalifaxfuneralhome.com
