It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Joseph (Zach) Burnham, born on October 26, 1994. He left this world peacefully, at home, on September 16, 2026, at the tender age of 31. Joseph brought joy and warmth to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

He was the son of JoAnn Burnham and the loving brother of Matthew (Alex) Sibley. Zach’s biggest accomplishment and his pride and joy was his daughter Braelyn M. Burnham, who he deeply cherished and adored. Joseph is preceded in death by his grandfather Joseph P. Burnham, grandmother Donna F. Burnham, and great-grandmother Fay Rogers. Their memories and legacies lived on through Zach and now he joins them in eternal peace.

Please join us for a celebration of life on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 2:00pm at the Baton Rouge Recovery Health Center located at 933 N Foster Dr, Baton Rouge 70806.
