Christopher David Carl Burnham

June 1, 1992 - April 25, 2014

CHRISTOPHER DAVID CARL BURNHAM ~ "Chris" June 1, 1992 to April 25, 2014 Age 21 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Christopher David Carl Burnham ~ "Chris" Loving son of Brent & Sandra “Sandy” Burnham. Beloved & awesome brother of Andrew “Andy” Burnham. Cherished grandson of Frederick & Barbara Levantrosser. Treasured nephew of Debra Levantrosser and Laura and Mark Lauer. Dearest great nephew of Lynette Chaplin. Sweetest and proud cousin to many. Chris' passion for bodybuilding and weightlifting (with a pursuit to write a book & share his testimony of success in many areas during his intense journey), along with his love for bowling, baseball, animals, music, blessing others around him, his panda bear infatuation and his avid comic book collecting will always be remembered. Chris was successfully home schooled for 8 years total. He was an alumni of St. Linus Catholic School in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. He attended Divine Child High School in Dearborn, Michigan for two years. Chris graduated from online home school ~ high school~ through A Beka Academy, Pensacola, Florida. Chris attended The University of Michigan for a short while, and was very fortunate, at an early age, to become a successful business entrepreneur, operating his own business. Chris was raised in a loving home environment with strong morals and ethics. He had a highly sensitive loving and empathetic genuine spirit. He firmly believed in and supported the "paying it forward" motto. He reflected this on a regular and consistent basis to the many people & businesses that he was affiliated with, daily. Chris' smile could light up a room, and he was always willing to listen and give thoughtful advice. Chris will always be remembered through his kindness & generosity to others and all mankind. Chris was... "The guy with a heart of gold." He will be dearly missed. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Chris’s name to The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) or to Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter.
