SUMTER, S.C. — Stephen “Burke” Rice, 21, died Saturday, October 24, 2009 from an electrical accident at home in his garage shop.

Burke was a graduate of Blythewood High School, attending Central Carolina Technical College, planning to graduate in May 2010 with an Associates Degree in Auto Repair and Criminal Justice. Burke was a member of the First Presbyterian Church.
Burke loved his family and friends, as well as working on cars, trucks, motorcycles; taking things apart and building them again. Burke was looking forward to becoming a police officer and was working happily and eagerly toward that end. Burke was a big man, big feet, big hands, ever ready to help, a big heart full of love for life, his family and his poodle, Holly.
