Christopher Grady Burger passed away on August 25, 2014 at the age of 26 after losing his hard fought battle with brain cancer. His friends and family were by his side as he started his next journey of life in heaven.

Christopher was born to Suzie Cole Stinson and Chris Burger on September 11, 1987. He grew up in Calhoun, GA and graduated from Adairsville High School. Christopher was loved by many and a friend to all. He spent the last years of his life advocating the Ketogenic Diet and reaching out to others also in need. Christopher was a man of many trades who knew how to work with his hands and graduated from the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Orlando, Fl. This technical certificate allowed him to open his own business working on motorcycles and personal watercraft vehicles. Christopher was an avid Georgia Tech fan and most loved snowboarding on the slopes of Jackson Hole, WY. He will be missed. The world is a better place because of his life.

Christopher was an amazing son, loved brother, devoted father, and cherished friend. He taught those who knew him bravery, compassion, love and enduring strength. He was survived by his parents Chris Burger and Suzie and John Stinson; his siblings, Britney Keener and Nathan Burton, Elizabeth Keener, and Jessica Burger; his step-siblings, Jeremiah and Maggie Stinson; his daughter, Emma Hope Burger; and his grandparents, Grady and Jessie Burger, and Bill and Julia Belisario. Christopher was also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
