Uzuri J. Burkes A.K.A (Toon) age 30, passed away Monday evening in Phoenix, Arizona. He was born to Wesley and Geneva Burkes in Moorehead City, NC. Uzuri Burkes was faithful and dedicated to his friends and family. He worked for Banner Estrella Medical Center where he was a full time Phlebotomist; that loved his job and could draw the hardest stick at times where it was a difficult task for others. He loved to work on cars and get his hands dirty. He attended the College of UTI for auto diesel mechanic and he achieved it. Whatever he put his mind to he did it. He attended college at Brookline College of Phoenix where he became a big hit from the laughter and joy he brought. Anyone could come and talk to him. He was a ray of sunshine and the strongest man I know, that’s why his name is Uzuri , it is a Swahillian name which means strong and honest and that is what he truly is. We love him and he will forever be in our hearts and his friends and families. Fly high brother, you’re gone but never ever will be forgotten and you might have had your last ride here on earth but you will always have a long and everlasting ride in heaven brother. I love you we love you sleep in peace. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Geneva Burkes and father, Mr. Wesley Burkes; his sister, Ms. Quiyana M.
