Jessica Aileen Burr's Obituary
Jessica Aileen Burr, “JB”, 44, of Tallahassee, FL, passed away peacefully and surrounded by her family on April 3, 2024.
Jessica was born on July 10, 1979 to parents Tom and Beth Burr in Jacksonville, FL. Her child-like soul, permanent smile, and unconditional love and acceptance of everyone made you immediately gravitate towards her.
JB lived a life full of love for her family and friends, and she brought incredible joy to so many. A true artist, Jessica would often share her work as birthday or holiday gifts, or for any reason whatsoever and believed balloons were a necessity for any and all such occasions. Jessica loved celebrations of all kinds, especially holidays and birthdays and had recently enjoyed rejoicing the Easter holiday with her family. She loved everyone with her entire heart and taught us all how to be better people.
Jessica is survived by her parents, Tom and Beth Burr, and siblings T.C. Burr (Jasmine), Rebecca Bertoch (Jason), and Mary Wheeler (Matt), nieces and nephews (Amelia, Thomas, Janie, James, and Magnolia) and countless others whose lives she impacted.
Even in her passing, Jessica continues to give. Her heart, liver, corneas, and bones will be used to provide life for others. If there ever was a reason to celebrate, it is now to honor Jess and her giving soul!
Please pray for the family, for the recipients of Jessica’s bodily and household donations, and consider a memorial donation to Jimmy Buffet’s Singing for Change, Fellowship Presbyterian Church, or Florida State Beach Volleyball Coach’s Club.
Private services will be held at a later date.
