It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of Tristan M. Burke, who was born sleeping at home on Friday, October 24, 2025. A brief yet profound light graced our lives with Tristan’s arrival, cherished and loved by his family.

In these moments of grief, we remember the love that surrounds his memory and the promise of hope that comes with each new dawn. Though his life was but a fleeting moment, his spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

Tristan is survived by his devoted mother, Ariel Barto, and proud father, Dakota Burke; his two brothers, Leo and Britton Burke; maternal grandmother, Shelia (Wade Lamper) Barto; maternal great-grandmother, Diane Bower; paternal grandfather, Francis Burke; and his two aunts, Brittney (Tom) Dent, and Brooklynn Burke.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Darla Jacobs; paternal great-grandparents, Chester and Linda Jacobs; and five siblings lost in early pregnancy.

Tristan’s family will hold a private memorial service to honor his memory.

Arrangements have been entrusted to McCarty-Thomas Funeral Home, Hughesville.
