Burkley is survived by wife Laura, daughter Shannan, and son Shawn, who told The Hollywood Reporter that his father has been battling health issues for some time. Along with his voice work on the Emmy-winning Fox animated sitcom, Burkley was a distinct character actor, playing burly, intimidating men on shows such as The Rockford Files, The Dukes of Hazzard, Who’s the Boss?, and My Name Is Earl. He also starred as Sanford’s Southern-born junkyard partner in the Sanford & Son sequel Sanford and had a recurring role on Hill Street Blues as the tough biker Sonny Crockett.
