Jeffrey Gerard Burton

This is heartbreaking for Jeff Burton and his family. May he RIP and prayers for his wife and daughters during this difficult time

Jeff was an amazing person, to say the very least. His humor and humility were like nothing I have met in another person. I had the pleasure of his friendship and his kindness will definitely live on in my heart, as I know it will live in the hearts of all who had the opportunity to know him.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Jeff was a wonderful neighbor, kind and thoughtful. We are keeping your family in prayer. With deepest sympathy, The Miener Family

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I feel so lucky to have met and collaborated with Jeff to share his love of nature and encourage others to get outside. His kindness and smile will be forever missed.

I worked with Jeff for many years and will miss him greatly. Jeff was a great person and an awesome coworker and I will miss seeing his smiling face. RIP Jeff

To Jeff’s family: I am so sorry for your loss. I just want to thank you for sharing this beloved man with us for so many years over the radio. The amount of cards and letters you received is only a drop in the bucket of the number of lives Jeff has touched over the years. It’s a testament to his life and the way he lived that strangers want to reach out to you and tell you how much they loved this man. How many people can say that? That is a true measure of a life well lived. That’s our Jeff.

Jeff will be missed forever. You touched so many lives in such a positive way. Love and prayers to all family and friends❤ May you finally be at peace Jeff

We love you Jeff

Thank you for the all the laughs that would brighten my morning commute. The world needs more Jeff Burton's, rest easy Jeff

Julie

My thoughts are with you and your girls at this time!

You are a strong woman and the man upstairs will help you get stronger.

Love you girlie

What a bright shiny light of a person. My favorite memory is him driving me around his old neighborhood telling me the stories of another life he had lived, a long time ago. A crazy neighbor and the bar and around the corner. He could really tell a story. What a life he lived. What a legacy. It's hard to believe he isn't just a phone call or text away. I will miss him desperately.

The struggle of losing someone is unique to everyone. The struggle of losing someone who so many felt they knew and had a connection to, multiplies that loss by so much. The world is different without Jeff in it. However, the world is better to have had him in it for the time it did. The imprint he left on so many hearts and lives will not be lost or forgotten. They are permanent reminders of an amazing man who selflessly gave his all to so many. Rest easy, your life made a difference beyond simple comprehension. You are loved.

I would listen to Jeff on the point since the early 90s. Always made me laugh no matter what kind of day I had. I wish I would’ve met him.. my family has always said that we had cousins in St. Louis area.. often wondered if we’re related.. our prayers are with you and your familyso sorry.. rest in peace

Just like everyone else, I've listened to and loved Jeff since the beginning of The Point. Jeff also worked for a time at Red 104.1, a local jazz station, where he introduced me to Jaime Cullem, Joss Stone, Erin Bode, and more. I appreciate so much more music now because of Jeff and I'll forever be grateful. Jeff was the most genuine and sweetest man; when I met him, he, unasked, embraced me in a warm hug. All of St. Louis is a better place for the gift of having Jeff Burton in its lives. You will be terribly missed!

Thank You for our friendship! Prayers to your family! I’ll see you on the other side!

Dear Burton Family,

Thank you for sharing Jeff with us!

I have listened to Jeff since high school when he was on with Trish and Thom West (RIP Thom). I feel like I knew him and he was my favorite part of the Rizzuto Show. He was definitely a man of the people and he treated everyone with the utmost respect and dignity.

Thank you Jeff for helping other people live, even in death, by donating your body to the National Body Donor Program. You are an inspiration

Jeffrey Burton your Legacy will live on my friend you were a great man in our Eureks community and 105.7 community. Your girls and Juli are wonderful and ill pray they get thru this difficult time.

We're sure going to miss Jeff, but we are grateful for all he left us.

Theres nothing i can say that hasn't already been said thousands of times. I never had the pleasure of meeting Jeff but after listening to him on the radio for 15+ years I feel like I knew him, and like he was a friend. My heart hurts and it doesn't seem real. I can't even imagine how his friends and family are feeling. I hope peace finds you all soon. Thank you Jeff for being such an amazing human being, and showing the world what an impact we can have by just being kind. Rest easy, even though you didn't deserve to go out this way, and you deserved to live a long happy healthy life, you've earned your rest.

The way your morning starts sets the tone for the rest of the day. Jeff and his quick wit, being a part of the Rizz Show, made tons of people start their days with laughter. He helped turn so many bad days into good days. That’s a priceless gift. He will be so missed.

Jeff thank you for being such a positive influence to me and everyone that has gotten the chance to meet you. Your love for life its self is an inspiration for me. Many thoughts and prayers for the Burton family and the rizzuto show

Job well done my friend. Rest In Peace

I pray for Jeff’s family and closest friends during these tough times. I have listened to Jeff on the radio for many years now. Even though we met a handful of times I could always tell how genuine he truly was. I looked up to him in many many ways. He will be greatly missed. Thank you for everything, rest easy Jeff.

Thank you for being such an amazing Human Jeff. You will always be in my thoughts whether it's in the woods, taking walks or listening to music. To the Burton family, Sending my love and positivity. Always remember to let the amazing memories flow while putting a smile on your face.

Love you Jeff! ❤☮

Jeff, thank you for always being kind, gracious and generous. There are no words to describe the impact your existence had on so many people. Your humor, your love for your fellow human, and your charitable endeavors will leave a mark on the St. Louis area forever. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed listening to you on the radio everyday and enjoyed even more the moments where I got to meet you and exchange jokes. May your light shine as bright in death as it did in life. Thank you for everything.

I am so sorry for your loss of Jeff. I will miss hearing his words of wisdom and especially his laugh. When he laughed it always made me smile and feel better as I continued my day. He will be watching over each and every one of you!! Terri Lampkin, Weirdo from Illinois

Jeff Burton was the kind of human being we should all strive to be. He was the epitome of a role model for how to be a kind and loving person. His example will live on forever. Thank you for everything, Jeff. We love you very much.

Jeff has been a daily staple in my life for years. I have always enjoyed listening to him on the radio. He always made me laugh. He will be missed greatly. My thoughts are with his family, including Weezy.

I had the pleasure of listening to Jeff on the radio since I was 11 years old. He always made me laugh and was a welcome part of my mornings. He will be greatly missed by all of St.Louis. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Jeff, we only met a couple 2, 3 times but every time it was memorable. You were truly an amazing human being to everyone around you. The world is a better place because of you and you will never be forgotten. You are a legend and an inspiration to all us weirdos, your friends, and your family.

Jeff will forever hold a special place in my heart. I want to B a person who loved, cared and enjoyed life as much as he did. I consider myself lucky to have been personally touched by Jeff’s light. My prayers and good vibes to his family and friends.

I truly love listening to Jeff on the Rizzuto show! His humor and the one-liners he would say make me laugh so hard, people probably thought I was crazy drive down the road laughing hysterically lol I will truly miss hearing him every morning. Sending love and prayers to you all God bless.

Jeff - No words can express how much of a positive force you were for your listeners every day. Thank you for being such a thoughtful friend and amazing human. You will continue to be an inspiration to me.

Jeff the one time I meet you was a Rizz Show day at the ballpark. I told you that my father had cancer and was able to beat it and I said you could to, although you are no longer with us I still believe that to be true. By donating your body in a hopes to find a cure for cancer or Chron’s you are beating those diseases.

Jeff was the most kind and caring individual the world had. Thanks for all of the great memories you've shared with all of your listeners. Much love goes out to the Rizzuto family and more importantly; the Burton family.

Jeff was an amazing soul and we are all so privileged to have had him in our lives. He was a rare gift. All the love in the world for Juli and his girls. He will be dearly missed.

Heaven have gained an awesome angel. Jeff always treated me like I was his best friend. Rest In Peace. You will be missed by many. Prayers to his wife, daughters and family.

Thank you for being a kind, amazing, playful, lovable human. You made the world a better place.

I have been a fan of Jeff since his time in Springfield. His afternoons on the Thom & Jeff show was when he really got to explore his creativity as a host; and in true Jeff fashion he got in trouble a few times. I thank The Point for allowing him to come back and be a part of the morning crew. It allowed us more time to hear of his adventures outdoors with Eloise, or out on his bike. It also made us aware of his long-time battle with Crohn’s and how he kept a positive perspective through the illness. Jeff’s joy of going to ‘work’ could be heard in his voice, in his quick delivery of an inappropriate joke or music that he loved. We usually learned about songs that triggered memories when he was chosen to blast them into headphones during Matchup with Moon. He was the one who did the ‘Crap on Celebrities’ segment of the show and it doesn’t sound right with Tony doing it now. It’s nothing against him, but there is something gone now without Jeff’s input. I got to say hi to Jeff & Tony as they left for the Walk of Shame punishment. Tony couldn’t have lost the game with a better partner to walk all those miles. I find myself already going through old podcasts to hear his voice. I will always regret not going up to actually talk to him, always. To the ladies of the Burton family, stay strong. You could hear the pride in his voice when he talked about you. Juli, you are a rock to be able to hold it together during this time. Give extra love to Eloise & Hazel. I hope the pain of your loss eases and you remember well the kind man that is your Dad, husband, or Coworker. That’s Our Jeff. Take care.

I never met Jeff in person but he made me laugh daily with his dad jokes, quick one liners and just a positive, kind and amazing personality that just clicked with the rest of the guys on the show. He will be forever missed and the show just won’t be the same without that sense humor from Jeff. I hope he’s at peace and glad he’s pain free. He fought hard till the very end and will never be forgotten. RIP Jeff!
