James R. "Jimmy" Burch ll's Obituary
James Robert Burch II "Jimmy", a resident of Lakewood went to be with the lord on September 26, 2017, at the age of 46 after a tragic motorcycle accident. He was born in Tokyo, Japan on January 10, 1971 to James R. Burch Sr. and Ocie Haskins. During his life, Jimmy enjoyed many activities and things. He was an avid lover of motorcycles, cars, tattoos, music (especially Country), and gambling on slot machines at his favorite casino, BJ's in Fife. He enjoyed a good Slurpee, along with ice cream, Butterfingers, Rainier beer, and McDonald's. For those that knew him, knew these were staples for him. He loved his family and friends and would always be there to help in a time of need. He was a generous, caring, hard-working and loyal man. Jimmy recently went to work for JK Monarch, as a general contractor of residential construction. Jimmy enjoyed his job and loved staying busy with it. The one thing that brought Jimmy the most pleasure was riding his Ninja motorcycle. He was so excited when he purchased it this summer and he enjoyed many rides before his life was taken. Jimmy's life was taken too soon and those that were closest to him will love and miss him forever. Jimmy is survived by his Father Jim Burch, brother Greg Wheeler, sons Kyle and Zachary, daughters Lindsey, Taylor, and Alyssa. Jimmy also had two beloved grandchildren, Lily and Macey. Jimmy is also survived by his girlfriend, Sarah Jensen, along with her three children, Nicholas, Lucy, and Jensen, all of whom meant the world to him. He was preceded in death by his Mother, Ocie Haskins in 2001. A celebration of life to honor Jimmy will take place in the Sockeye room in the Emerald Queen Casino conference center separate from the main casino in Fife, on Saturday, October 7th from 1:00pm-4:00pm.
