Don was the most wonderful, handsome husband a girl could ever hope for, my true soulmate & Longhorn. We had 37 years of great fun with our share of happy & sad times but always together. I know that I was the luckiest girl in the world to have been the one Don chose to live his life with - he will forever be in my heart & the love of my life.

What a great friend I had in Donald while going thru Stovall Jr. High and Aldine High School. Kinda lost touch after I got drafted, but Donald was king enough to send me pictures from home. May he Rest In Peace. God bless him and his family

I was one of the people at Cheryl Byrd's Christmas party. I am honored and blessed that I got to see Don Burrisk and meet his beautiful and loving wife, Becky. My heart and prayers go to Becky and the family. Becky I lost my husband to cancer too; if need someone to talk to, with or just to listen, just call. God has Don with HIM. Don is healthy, no more pain, no more cancer. Remember God is OUR strength. Lean on HIM. Love Carolyn

Don was probably the happiest guy I’ve ever known. He never met a stranger and had the best stories! The love and bond you two shared was something so special. Love you Don! Hook’em!

Growing up with him was quite interesting! Fondest memories were of all the trouble we all use to get into when we'd stay at Grandma's house!

Don was a wonderful guy, loved by everyone. We dated through high school and he was the perfect boyfriend. But as always things come to an end. He went off to college and met the true love of his life and she became his wife. Three years ago almost to the date we had a Christmas party at our home and had several of our high school friends over. Don and Becky came. We all had a wonderful time and as always he was the life of Party. That was the last time we saw him. It is hard to believe he is passed on, but he is with the Lord now and no more suffering. One day we will all be united and what a day that will be. Heaven received a great guy.

I have known Don since the 1st grade and have kept in touch with him for sum 60 years. The world has lost a truly great individual and I am truly lucky to have known him for all these years. There are no words to describe the loss that his family and friends are dealing with at this time but considering the process he had been going through for some time he is in a better place in the arms of our Lord. I pray for his wife Becky and all of the family and I cherish all of the moments that he and I have shared. Respectfully, Randy Robertson

Don Burrisk was one of my first High School Heros. He put our school Aldine on the Texas Football map. Almost everything I've been saying about Don the last few days is about football. That was Don Burrisk ....A Football Legend period. He was a gentleman even as a young man at Aldine. He was kind and spoke poltely to everyone. I never saw him when he wasn't smiling unless it was when he was carrying the football and dragging 1 or 2 opponents towards the goal line with him. You have reached your goal line my friend and we who knew you are all winners .RIP MR. ALDINE #25 ..

There is a saying that paraphrased says to have a friend you must first be a friend. Don had many friends. These friendships have lasted a lifetime and are part of his spirit for eternity. Horns up!
