Donald (Jim)

Burch

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Donald (Jim) Burch, who left this world peacefully on November 8, 2026, after a courageous battle with multiple health issues.  Born on September 15, 1944, in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, Donald was a beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Donald was the cherished son of the late Earl and Dawn Burch.  He grew up alongside his brothers John, Earl, Robert, and Richard Burch, who predeceased him, as did his sons, Travis and Jeffery (Bo) Burch.  For 48 wonderful years, Donald shared a life filled with love and companionship with his devoted wife, Cathy.  Together, they built a family that was the center of Donald's world.  He is survived by his children, Donald (Jimmy) Burch, Jr. and wife Shelly Burch and Laura Henderson and husband Paul Henderson Jr.  Donald's sister, Dorliane Crawford, also survives him, providing comfort and cherished memories.

A man deeply rooted in family values, Donald was blessed with eight grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.  He delighted in watching them grow and thrive, always eager to share his wisdom and love.

Donald found joy in the simple pleasures of life.  He loved tending his garden, nurturing life and beauty with his own hands.  In his earlier years, he was an avid outdoorsman, reveling in the serenity of camping in the mountains on horseback and the thrill of hunting.

As we say goodbye to a remarkable man, we hold onto the memories and the love he shared with us all.

Memorial services for Donald are pending at this time.  A future date, time and place of services will be announced when available from the family.
