Remembering Jeff Burton
• RAMP is deeply saddened to learn that Jeff Burton, beloved cast member of The Rizzuto Show on Hubbard Alternative KPNT (105.7 The Point)/St. Louis died Monday, August 15 after a battle with prostate cancer. He was only 55 years old.
Burton had been a fixture on The Point since the mid-’90s and had done mornings and afternoons over the years with various co-hosts. In April 2014, following the departure of former morning hosts Jeff “Woody” Fife and Renae Ravey to iHeartMedia’s KYSR (ALT 98.7)/Los Angeles, Woody & Rizzuto co-host Scott Rizzuto was then tapped to anchor the newly minted Rizzuto Show, alongside Burton and producer Tony Petrico.
The Rizzuto Show shared this message on The Point website, that reads, “We’re devastated to share that today we lost our wonderful friend and colleague, Jeff Burton. Everyone here at 105.7 The Point loved and admired Jeff for countless reasons… his kindness, his humor, his generosity… to just name a few. The Rizzuto Show and our entire team will be honoring Jeff in the coming months, but for now, we ask that you simply keep Jeff’s family in your thoughts and remember the man who contributed so much to our station and our community. We love you, Jeff! You’ll always be a part of 105.7 The Point!”
Your cards or notes of condolence for Jeff’s family can be mailed to: KPNT (105.7 The Point), Attn: We Love You Jeff, 11647 Olive Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63141, and the station will deliver them directly to Jeff’s family.
Burton leaves behind his wife, Juli and daughters Abigail and Casey.
