Danny was a lifelong learner and highly valued education. He earned his Bachelor's Degree in 1991 from Liberty University and a Master's Degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1994. After a lengthy career in vocational ministry, Danny decided to pursue a career in Real Estate and established The Burks Team in 2002. Over the course of the last 19 years, he has successfully led The Burks Team to over 5,000 homes sold in the East Texas area. In 2009, Danny established Crosspointe Management Group that now manages over 700 properties. Danny has left a legacy of financial integrity and hard work with the employees he has managed and the countless professionals he has mentored. In 2019, Danny received the
prestigious Circle of Legends Award from RE/MAX that has been awarded to less than 1,000 Real Estate professionals globally. He co-hosted Tyler House Hunters Radio Show every week for 10 years and thoroughly loved connecting with the audience through that medium.
Danny was preceded in death by his father, Wiley Burks. He is survived by loving family, including his mother, Dera Mae of Boerne, Texas; his brothers and their wives, Rickey and Sharon Burks of Boerne, Texas and Terry and J'Lynn Burks of Montgomery, Texas. He is also survived by his loving and faithful wife of 42 years, Rebecca; and their three sons and daughters-in-law all of Tyler, Texas, Ben and Keely Burks, Zach and Michaela Burks, and Aaron and Jade Burks. Danny was most proud of his six precious grandchildren that called him Paw Paw: Braelyn, Harper, Everett, Reagan, Brooks, and Miles Burks. He will also be missed by a host of extended family and friends.
Danny was a family man in every sense of the word, taking any opportunity to brag on his kids and grandkids. His proudest moments included baptizing and marrying all three of his sons. The legacy of faith, family, generosity, and hard work that Danny leaves behind is carried on through each of his boys. Danny was an avid poker player, Houston Astros fan, and real estate investor. He and Rebecca have traveled the world and have enjoyed 43 cruises in their 42 years of marriage. The family requests in lieu of flowers, any donations be sent to the Mission Fund at Grace Community Church, 3215 Old Jacksonville Rd, Tyler, TX 75701, where Danny was a member.
