Herbert Burton

Herbert Burton, born on March 23, 1976, in Brooklyn, NY, brought laughter and joy to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. With a quick wit and an infectious sense of humor, he could turn any moment into a reason to smile. On February 6, 2025, Herbert left us, but his spirit and best jokes will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
Herbert is survived by his loving mother, Fay Burton; his devoted brothers Stanley, Michael, Robert, Steven, and Leroy; his cherished nieces and nephew; and a host of aunts, uncles, friends, and family who will forever hold his memory close. Herbert had a way of making people feel at ease, and his presence was a gift to all who knew him.

A funeral service to honor and celebrate his life will be held on Saturday, February 15, 2025, at First Avenue Funeral Home, 349 E 116th Street, New York, NY. 

Family and friends are invited to gather, share stories, and remember the joy Herbert brought into the world.
In honor of his legacy, let’s continue to spread laughter, love, and kindness—just as he always did.
