Brian K. Burger, 49, of Parsons, died at 4:15 p.m., Monday, April 4, 2011, at his home. His death was unexpected.
He was born August 31, 1961 in Oswego, Kansas, to Richard S. and Karen L. (Phillips) Burger. He grew up and attended schools near Altamont and was a 1979 graduate of Labette County High School. He later attended college two years and was currently enrolled at Labette Community College where he was working toward a degree in physical therapy.
Through the years, he was employed by the Flesh Company in Parsons, the Parsons State Hospital and Training Center and SKIL. He was currently employed by Class LTD.
He was a member of the United Methodist Church in Altamont. He enjoyed riding his bicycle and reading, and was an avid Kansas City Chiefs fan. Brian was a very caring person and strong advocate for those who called him "caregiver".
