With heavy hearts, we share the devastating news of the sudden death of Jon Burden, loving husband to Jill and dedicated father to Anthony and Molly.

Jon supported his family and served his community, most recently working as an EMT. His commitment to helping others is rivaled only by the generosity of his wife Jill.

Jill and Jon moved to Red Bank 23 years ago. There, they built a life rooted in care, resilience, and love for their family and community.

Jill has been a champion of Red Bank Boro Schools and a fierce advocate for Red Bank students. She is someone who shows up, again and again, for others without hesitation and has spent years giving her time, energy, and heart to support families, students, and neighbors in need. In this unimaginable moment, Jill now faces the profound challenges of losing the father of her children and continuing to care for their family.

This is a moment for the community to come together for her and her family. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to give financially, please consider sharing this page and keeping Jill, Anthony, Molly, and the Burden family in your thoughts and prayers.
