May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You will always be Skynyrd. Rest in peace Bob.

Remembering Bob in this day Bob reminded me so much of a warrior chief of his own Indian nation he was a standup guy was sad ending

Your drumming lives on forever on vinyl. You live on in our hearts.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Bob was a sweetheart. I had the pleasure of becoming his friend in 2007. Rip my friend, ill always remember you with a smile on your face when you saw me! Ill see you in heaven playing music. Love, Molisa Lee

I read once the original lineup would, from a given song's original idea, create their own parts for it, and to this day, Burns' drumming on, I Ain't The One, is one of the 3 coolest rhythm patterns I've ever heard and - forgive me - I'm kinda a snob about percussion work. The beat goes on Bob & long as it does, your spirit will live on, too. Thanks for the music man & peace.

GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY.. REST IN PEACE BOB...
