Two teenagers in love
The Missouri victims were: Glenn Burcks, 62, who lived in the mobile home in Glenallen. Susan Sullivan, 57, also lived there, along with her 37-year-old nephew, James Skaggs. Also killed were Sullivan’s 16-year-old granddaughter, Destinee Nicole Koenig of Sikeston, Missouri, and McCoy, her boyfriend.
McCoy’s uncle, Rustin Kinder, said the teenager’s dad and another uncle hurried to the trailer once they heard about the tornado. The uncle found McCoy badly injured in a field. Kinder said his nephew was rushed to a hospital but “just couldn’t hang on.” Koenig was a sophomore at New Madrid High School and loved animals, especially cats and dogs. Principal Justin Poley said the school is offering help for students dealing with the loss of their classmate.Burcks was “a sweet and giving man, and he’d give the shirt off his back for you,” his sister-in-law, Dorothy Burcks, said. Glenn Burcks considered Sullivan and her relatives family.“He lived out in the country all his life,” she said. “He loved country.
A funeral service for Koenig, and memorial services for Sullivan and Skaggs, will be Monday in nearby Marble Hill. Arrangements were incomplete for Burcks and McCoy.
