Christopher D. Burkett

I will always remember Chris for his positive outlook in the face of his hardships. He was always interested and concerned with how others were doing, and was a fantastic conversationalist. I am glad for the time that I spent with him watching movies, discussing music and sports. I will miss you my friend.

Katherine, we are so very sad to learn of your brother´s passing. Although we never met him, he seems to have been a wonderful person, and we are sure a loving brother. His obituary is quite a tribute to his life and struggles. I know it has been a long time between visits but if you ever want to get together when you may find yourself in Pittsburgh, let us know (4121491-8755). We hope this finds you and the twins in good health. Take care.

Gaye, I am so so sorry for your loss. Chris was such a bright light of humor and friendship. I posted the following on my Facebook page in memory of Chris: February 5th, a light went out. The man I always referred to as my first husband, Chris Burkett , passed away. The joke that would last for years was due to a hilarious assumption made by an usher outside of the Regal Union Square movie theater. I used that to throw a huge fit and get the theater to bring out a chair so that Chris could...

Chris was a wonderful young man. He was in my drama class and he was very talented. He was loved by all the teachers and his peers. He will be greatly missed.

Gaye so very sorry for your loss

So sorry to hear about Chris's passing. He was a very sweet young man who died long before his time. Rip Chris.

I am so, so sorry for this terrible news. Chris was such a wonderful friend and will be sorely missed.

I have so many wonderful memories of Chris, especially our days performing together first at our church, and then while we were in high school. I'm thankful that our friendship continued into adulthood. He will be missed by so many. Gaye, Catherine, and girls, I am thinking of you with love and prayers.

Chris bore his challenges with class and grace. Never one to complain, his sense of humor and sardonic wit were infectious. I visited him in the hospital several years ago and I might as well have gone to a comedy club. When I lost my father Chris honored me by asking his mother to bring him to the funeral. I'll say a prayer of thanks for his final peace and rest, and will remember him most fondly. I ask that his family please contact me when they have a chance. Jason...
