IVAN L. BURGENER
Nov 25, 1932 - July 6th, 2025
Chemical Engineer, Creationist, and Pastor

We are remembering our President Emeritus Ivan Burgener, who passed away on July 6, 2025 at the age of 92.
He along with Dr. David Menton (see next blog post) and Walt Stumper were instrumental in the formation of M.A.C.
in the late 1970s. Ivan was an enthusiastic and engaging presenter at our Monday meetings, a board member, and also served as our President for 2007-2015.

Ivan earned his Chemical Engineering degree with honors from the University of Illinois, and later became a licensed professional engineer in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Georgia.
He actively served in numerous Bible ministries throughout his life, and after his retirement served as Pastor of Affton Grace Bible Church.

Ivan is survived by his loving wife of 71 years, Nina,
his children Ruth, Lois, and Tim, many grandchildren
and his brothers, Wilfred and Lowell Burgener.

We rejoice that Ivan is now with his Savior.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7

Ivan and Nina Burgener
