RIP Anthony Burger

by Wendy on February 24th, 2006

This from About Christian Music:

“One of gospel music’s premier musicians, Anthony Burger, suffered a fatal heart attack on Wednesday night. Preliminary reports indicate that Anthony was actually on stage when the attack occurred. Anthony, and his wife, LuAnn were on the Gaither Homecoming Cruise all this week. Anthony has long been a guest artist and pianist for the Gaither Vocal Band and for Gaither’s Homecoming concerts.”

and more from his official site:

” Anthony Burger died Wednesday night after suffering an apparent heart attack. He was 44. Anthony was in the Caribbean aboard a Bill Gaither Homecoming cruise this week and it was during one of Wednesday’s performances when he suffered the heart attack. A family spokesman said Burger was doing what he loved best, playing the piano, just before collapsing.

Anthony is survived by his wife LuAnn, two sons, AJ and Austin; a daughter, Lori; his mother and father, Richard and Jean Burger; two brothers, Randy and Clinton Burger, and countless friends and loved ones.

Arrangements are in the process of being made and will be reported here as soon as they are made final.”

Oh wow, he was SO young - only 44. Peace to his memory.
