In Memory of Cpl David L Burch II, USMC
May 21, 1985 – August 18, 2020
3rd Marine Division
David was big hearted, made you laugh harder than you could imagine, and truly was a hero. Through this journey I realized, even more, how much of an impact he had on everyone he met.
If you knew David, you have loads of memories to share or maybe one experience that left an imprint on your life. He sure did make his presence known.
He grew up as an amazing brother to Liz and I. And shortly after his 18th birthday he joined the United States Marine Corps. He served in Iraq for two tours. He traveled to Okinawa Japan, trained platoons in South America and came back to finish out his reenlistment in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He ranked expert in Rifle qualification and scored the highest 7 years in a row. Recently, he bought his beautiful home in Oklahoma and made ever lasting friendships.
Each one of us can share the greatest memories of him and how he made our lives a little happier, more silly, or more fun.
Now, here we are, deeply saddened by the unfortunate event of his suicide.
Again, anything is greatly appreciated, even a simple prayer.
