Kelvin Burks, who Dustin White considered to be more of a brother than a friend, had just had a conversation with him when, regrettably, 48 hours later Kelvin’s cousin informed Dustin White that Kelvin had passed away.
“Immediately I looked at Facebook and he had told me the family was keeping it quiet because they didn’t know what had happened and was going on and I just lost it,” White said.
About a week ago, Burks’ body was discovered in the kitchen of his Alabama home in the 2300 block of West Cumming Avenue.
Burks’ autopsy revealed that he was killed, according to the Alabama Police Department, although no arrests have been made as of yet.

“Hearing the news of someone took his life I still can’t fathom it we are just a few months apart, the same age, talking every day,”
White claimed he saw anything odd on Burk’s social media profile the day of the murder, despite the fact that the police department hasn’t disclosed any information about the murder.
And it’s been mind-bothering friends and family.
“There was a post on his Facebook asking for a 1000 dollars asking to be sent to his cash app Kelvin was a pastor he had solicited money in the past but never with a dollar amount,” He said.
White said Burks was a man of God, the pastor of the Living Waters Christian Church in Opp, Alabama and was affiliated with other churches.
“The man was like a siren he could sing from the heavens, play the music, write the music and he brought so many people to the lord,” He said.
“I never saw color because of a few friends like him in Elba he was a brother to me, not only we grew up there, but I moved to gulf shores and he moved to daphne behind me and we went fishing and that relationship from high school never faltered,” He added.
A celebration was just held this past weekend for Burks.
