Keith Burkhardt, 69, of Allentown, died Aug. 23, 2025. He was the son of Doris (Palmer) and Morgan Burkhardt.
His career spanned an impressive 40 years at Air Products.
He found joy in traveling — especially during his trips to Maine — and loved sharing the fact McDonald’s in Maine sold lobster rolls. Golfing was another favorite pastime, as was cheering on his beloved Raiders with complete loyalty.
Those who knew him will fondly remember taking shots of Don Julio together, hearing the familiar sound of his signature seal bark and listening to him recount tales of his family history.
He was the definition of a true family man. His first priority was always the happiness and well-being of his children and grandchildren. Known for having a “dad-joke” ready for just about any situation, he had a unique ability to make others smile with his humor and lighthearted spirit.
He is survived by sons, Steven, Colin and Gavin; daughter-in-law, Laura; grandchildren, Ada and Levi; best friend, golf buddy and brother, Scott.
His unwavering dedication to his family was evident in every aspect of his life – his greatest joy came from being surrounded by those he loved most.
Services are private at the convenience of the family. Arrangements by Bachman, Kulik & Reinsmith Funeral Home, Emmaus.
