Luke R. Burns

Ontario: Luke passed away on November 11, 2016 at age 11. He is survived by his loving parents, Eric and Fran Burns; brother, Eric; big sister, Rachel; grandparents, Frank and Dale Burns; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Luke was predeceased by his brother Baby Burns, grandma Bobbi Williams and great grandma, Dot Gordanier.

Luke was a beautifully wrapped package of love, energy, enthusiasm, compassion, intelligence and good humor.

Luke loved deeply - sports, learning, laughing, his community, friends and his family. He loved playing football for Wayne Junior Eagles Football Club and was starting a new season with Greater Rochester Area Basketball. Luke had also played baseball, lacrosse, wrestling, and enjoyed skiing, water skiing, tubing, paintball, fishing, and doing cheer stunts with his big sister Rachel. He seemed to have endless energy to pursue his passions.

Smart and funny, Luke excelled at school and fed his curious mind with books and online learning about sports heroes, science and things like solving a Rubik's Cube, Luke could do it in under a minute. He was also known to enjoy a good prank.

Luke had a huge heart and his family and friends meant the world to him. He loved time with his family at camp on Joe Indian Pond and at Higley Flow State Park. Luke would choose time with those he loved over anything.
