Robert Lee Burrows, lovingly known as “Ike” born March 24, 1947, to the late Harvey Edward Burrows and Dora Burrows.

A proud veteran, Ike served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. His service was an important part of his life and reflected his commitment and dedication to his country.

Ike was preceded in death by his parents, Harvey and Dora Burrows, and his brother, James Burrows.

He is survived by his wife, Kathryn Burrows; his daughters, Jacqueline dela Paz (Samson) and Jill Mears (Sean); his grandchildren, Bradley dela Paz, Abigail Mears, and Madison Mears; and his brothers, John Burrows (Gladys) and Roger Burrows (Teresa), along with extended family and many dear friends.

Ike found happiness in the simple things that made life meaningful. He loved fishing, drawing, and, above all, spending time with friends and the people he cared about.

Though he will be deeply missed, Ike's memory will live on through his wife, children, grandchildren, family, and friends. His life touched many people, and the love he gave will continue to be remembered and treasured for years to come.
