               HONORING THE LIFE OF POLICE CHIEF KEN BURK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ZACHARY NUNN

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 4, 2023

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life and 
service of Winterset, Iowa's Chief of Police, Ken Burk, who passed away 
on July 21, 2023, at the age of 59. Chief Burk spent the last 20 years 
dedicated to serving his community as Police Chief, and he leaves 
behind a lasting legacy of exceptional service.
  To the people of Winterset, Ken Burk was more than just a Police 
Chief--he was a true pillar in his community. In a town of just over 
5,300, almost everyone knew Chief Burk. Widely respected and always 
ready to chat about classic cars or the Kansas City Chiefs, he is 
remembered as a man who truly cared about his fellow neighbors and 
worked valiantly to keep his town safe.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues join me in remembering Chief Ken 
Burk as not only a tremendous public servant and protector, but as an 
even better person.
