Burke Jensen Henry
was born November 26th,
2013, a son of Joseph and
Angela (Hagen) Henry in
Minot, ND. Burke lived in
rural Westhope with his
loving parents along with
an older sister Harlow.
Burke was loved by all
that came into contact
with him. He was full of
charisma and knew exact-
ly how to make people
laugh and was known for
his special belly laugh.
Burke attended preschool
at Building Blocks Learn-
ing Center where he
played with his very spe-
cial friends and loved on
his loving teachers. Burke
couldn’t wait to get to
school so he could play
with his special friend
Jaxon.
Every day Burke found
joy in whatever activity
he was participating in
whether it be going to
preschool, staying home
with mommy and Harlow,
or going to the farm with
daddy. Burke knew his
way around the shop and
would give anyone who
needed it tools and end-
less advice.
Burke was one of the
guys when he was with
his daddy. He met with
the “boys” for coffee in
the morning and got to go
the the cafe for lunch con-
sisting of his favorite
meal, a cheeseburger.
Burke also enjoyed spend-
ing time with his mommy.
He would go along for
trips to the “supermarket”
asking specifically for a
car with every trip. Burke
enjoyed riding his gator,
playing cars, making pop-
corn and watching a
movie, going to his favor-
ite cousin’s house, and
mostly being a kid.
He was full of endless
energy from the moment
he was born but always
had deep down old soul.
He would always say
“everything will be okay”
when either his mommy
or daddy were having a
bad day. He knew exactly
what to do to make every-
one smile.
