Burton, who had been part of the station since the 90’s, had served as co-host of “The Rizutto Show” since its launch in 2014. Burton, Thom West and Trish Gazall hosted mornings at the station until 2000 and then had a long run in afternoons with West until 2012. Burton wrote the children’s book “The Watering Hole (https://www.lulu.com/shop/jeff-burton/the-watering-hole/hardcover/product-24518281.html?page=1&pageSize=4)” in 2018.
Burton was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March 2021 and entered hospice care (https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/jeff-burton-of-105-7s-the-rizzuto-show-on-hospice/) last month.

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!
