Racine – Edward George Burkhardt, age 62, passed away unexpectedly as the result of a heart attack on Monday, February 3, 2020.
A lifetime resident, Ed was born in Racine on November 16, 1957 to the late Frederick and Sally (nee: Smith) Burkhardt. He was a graduate of Washington Park High School. On September 1, 1984 in Holy Communion Lutheran Church, Ed was united in marriage with the love of his life, Vickie Lynn (nee: Anderson).
Employed with several companies over the years, Eddie was a talented automobile mechanic. He retired this past October from Manheim Milwaukee. Some of his interests included fishing, hunting, Racine Raiders, Green Bay Packers, and Milwaukee Bucks & Brewers. Above all, Eddie was a true family man who cherished spending time with his entire family.
Surviving are his loving wife of over 35 years, Vickie; their son, Jeremy (Karen) Burkhardt; their daughter, Jenny (Tony Lipor) Burkhardt; sisters, Sally (Rich) Larrin and Dorinne Borchardt; sister-in-law, Lynn Shultis; Vickie’s parents, Robert and Jean (nee: Hendricksen) Anderson; beloved canine companion, Chuckie; nieces, nephews, other relatives & friends – too numerous to mention all by name.
In addition to his parents, Eddie was preceded in death by his brothers, Fred & Dan Burkhardt; sister, LaVerne Niesen; brothers-in-law, Harold Borchardt & Chris Anderson; and canine companions, Angel & Gem.
