He was born on April 15, 1959, in Coudersport. He was the son of Rodney W. Burdick and Judith A. Burdick, and was married to Nena Prosser, who survives.
Chris graduated from Smethport Area High School in 1977 and went on to work at GKN Sinter Metals in Emporium for 40 years.
Chris loved all aspects of the outdoors. Not only was he an avid hunter, trapper, and fisherman; but he also loved planting, harvesting and sharing his crops.

He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his father.
