Honoring Barry Darnell Burks Jr.'s Life & Legacy: Supporting His Family After a Courageous Fight

We are heartbroken to share the news that Barry Darnell Burks Jr., a loving son, brother, and friend, passed away at the age of 28 after a lifelong battle with sickle cell disease. For those who knew him, Barry was more than his illness; he was a source of joy, resilience, and inspiration. Despite living with chronic pain and countless hospital visits, he met every day with strength, warmth, and a smile that could light up any room.

Sickle cell disease often placed immense challenges on Barry's life, yet he refused to let it define him. Through it all, he was a pillar of strength and positivity for those around him.

Now, as his family navigates this tragic loss, we ask for your support to help them cover funeral expenses, medical bills, and ease the financial burdens that have arisen. Your contributions, no matter the size, will honor Barry's legacy and give his family the support they need during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you for joining us in remembering and celebrating Barry's life. Your kindness means the world to his family and those who loved him. I’m his mother Michelle Penn and BJ and his younger brother stayed together until BJ’s passing they have so outstanding bills that need to be paid and this can really help.
