Christian retired from Reading Plastic Fabrication, where he worked his way up from the bottom to become a manager and eventually the company’s second-highest ranking employee. His hard work, determination, and ability to do whatever needed to be done were a reflection of the man he was.He is survived by his loving wife, Justine M. Burkart; his sons, Jason Burkart and Jesse Burkart, partner of Amyra Martinez; and his cousins, Megan Burkart and Jenny Pohlmann.

He was predeceased by his mother, Sandra L. Burkart; his son, Joshua Burkart; and his uncle, Sandy Burkart.
