Gene Burrus was the Dana Point Youth Baseball announcer. Dana Point Youth Baseball dedicated the Ballpark to Gene Burrus in 2012.
Dana Point has suffered such a loss—in the void left and the voice silenced—when Gene Burrus, 88, passed away on Oct. 21 2015 from melanoma.
Burrus is survived by his wife of 50 years, Gladys, his sister-in-law Tona (Arizona) and numerous nieces and nephews, one of which Gladys is now living with.
Gene “The Voice of Dana Point” Burrus’ became one of the city’s most beloved figures, with his golden voice, personality and generosity, since “retiring” to Dana Point in 1986 with his beloved wife.
The Gene Burrus Ballfield at Del Obispo Community Park is adjacent to the Dana Point Community/Senior Center.
The Ball field is located at 34052 Del Obispo Street in Dana Point.
