John Burle
At the youthful age of 87 on Sunday, January 9, 2022 our beloved, devoted, husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, and godfather was born to Eternity at his house after a short battle with cancer. He leaves behind his sister, Sr. Philip Marie Burle, his daughters and their significant others, and grandchildren.
John was born on December 21, 1934 to Philip Raymond & Mary Simon Burle, who preceded him to eternity. He preceded his love Jane T (Davis) Burle to eternal life. September 17, 1960 Philip John Burle married the love of his life, Jane Theron Davis. The Lord blessed them with 60 years as one heart. Within their spirit and love for each other they were blessed with five daughters Anne Allen, Mary Clare Galarza, Ellen Beuhler, Marlene Burle, and Joan Shoeffel. John was a very loving, supportive and wonderful grandfather to many grandchildren.
Our devoted beloved John was raised in South City St. Louis, Epiphany Parish. John and Jane raised their family in the parish of St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Normandy. He graduated high school from McBride. He then went into the National Guard where he served in the reserves. He supported his family as an Insurance underwriter.
In 1989 John and Jane moved to Fenton and Sacred Heart parish in Valley Park where they took root and became active pivotal members. He had a devout devotion to St. Joseph and the Holy Mother through the rosary. Other loves of John’s included his family, friends, the Lake of the Ozarks, playing cards, dancing, and traveling.

The Green Family admired and respected this dear friend of ours. His love of the Lord, his gentleness and love of fun encouraged others to grow in the love of the Lord while enjoying this gift of life. He and Jane provided a security, during a time when we had little security, and their prayers sustained a family during a time of need.
Our love of John and Jane will continue until we are all in heaven praising the Lord.
Bob, Jan Green and Family
Many prayers and love being sent to this beautiful family. Mr. Burle will forever be in my memory as a kind hearted, smiling man (usually on a boat!).
