April 11, 1954 – April 1, 2019

ELDORADO SPRINGS, Mo.— Robert Raymond “Bobby” Burst Jr., 64, of Eldorado Springs, Mo., died suddenly Monday, April 1, 2019, at his home of an apparent abdominal aneurysm.
Memorial services for family and friends will be announced at a later date.
Mr. Burst was born April 11, 1954, in Jackson, the son of Robert and Joyce Burst.
Bobby worked as a painter most of his life, but his true gift was as an artist. He trained under multiple artists in his earlier years and enjoyed painting landscapes and still-lifes throughout his life. While he had a true gift as an artist, his real passion was in sky diving. He made a number of friends through this sport and would be easily described as a “thrill seeker.” To represent the adventurous spirit that he was, Bobby will enjoy one last “freefall” with the help of his friends.
Bobby had a great sense of humor, touched a number of lives with his giving spirit and made many friends through his journeys.
Burst had previously lived in Natchez, Brandon, Covington, La., and Provincetown, Ma.
Survivors include five siblings, Rebecca Schoeneck, Betsy Davis, Amy Harrell, Luanne Hill Goldberg and Samuel Burst; nine nieces and nephews; and 16 great-nieces and nephews, living throughout Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Colorado and New Jersey.
To all of you who befriended Bobby through his life, “thank you.” He will be truly missed by his friends and family.
