James E. Burcham Obituary
We are sad to announce that on October 23, 2024 we had to say goodbye to James E. Burcham (Overland Park, Kansas), born in Peoria, Illinois. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of James E. Burcham to show support.
In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy James leaves behind and his impact on the lives of his loved ones. Though James may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the memories held dear by his family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness.
He was predeceased by: his father Earl Wallace. He is survived by: his mother Marilyn Wallace; his sister Susan; and his daughters, Nicole (Chris) and Michelle (Mikey). He is also survived by 5 grandchildren.
Through all of this, his mission was to bring joy to anyone he met and in the last days of his life, he decided to donate his body to research to improve the outcome for others who battle lymphoma. He was the 7th person enrolled in a very promising trial for cancer treatment and saw amazing results and hopes that through his donation, he will be able to help a multitude of others enjoy a long and joyful life.
