Cheez Posted June 22, 2025 Posted June 22, 2025 Coach Brian Burkart (Mishawaka Marian, Michigan City Elston, Michigan City, Knox, and South Bend Adams) passed away Saturday morning, June 21. Coach Burky was always a character, and lord knows the man was a TALKER. He’ll be missed terribly by his family. He loved being a part of the IHSAA and IFCA coaching community. Our family is still working on arrangements, but we’ll definitely have some kind of a remembrance ceremony in the coming weeks. 2 Quote

Killer51 Posted July 1, 2025 Posted July 1, 2025 Coach Burkart was my coach at Marian in the early 90's. The original Dirt Dog. Was the ultimate motivator and a great O-line coach. Always loved catching up with him when I was still coaching and even after I stopped coaching. He had a true passion for the game and an even stronger passion to work with young men. He never backed down from a challenge. He will be missed. Justin, please share my condolences with your family and keep us posted on the Celebration of Life.
