Raymond M Burd

Raymond Michael Burd, a cherished son, companion, brother, uncle and friend, passed away at the age of 64 on Thursday, November 6th, 2025 at Riverview Medical Center after a valiant battle with cancer. Born on March 31st, 1961 in Long Branch, he was the son of the late Fred "Fuzzy" Burd and Theresa Kenny. Raymond was a lifelong resident of Belford.

Raymond was a devoted son to his mother, Theresa Kenny, and a loving companion to Theresa Valastro. His strong family bonds were evident in his close relationships with his brothers and sister-in-laws, Fred (Debra) Burd, Kevin (Terri) Burd as well as his sister and brother-in-law, Lorraine (RJ) Kirk. His nieces and nephews will always remember the great memories they have with their Uncle Raymond; Samantha (Michael) Hague, Brian Kirk, Shannon (David) Dorgan, Stevie-Lyn Burd and Daniel Burd. Uncle Raymond was a favorite among his great-nieces, Zoe Kirk, Lennon Hague and Madeleine and Chloe Dorgan. 

Raymond was an avid fisherman and a passionate Cowboys fan. He had the rare ability to light up a room with his jokes and laughter, making every gathering a memorable one.

As we bid farewell to Raymond M. Burd, we celebrate a life lived with joy, generosity and a touch of humor. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who were touched by his kind spirit. Raymond's memory will live on in the hearts of those who he leaves behind, a testament to a life well- lived and a man well loved.

Please join his family as we say good-bye on Sunday, November 9th from 1-4pm. A Service will conclude the afternoon, and a private cremation will follow.
