With broken hearts and
loving memories, we announce the passing of our precious son Todd
Jonathan Burgess of Riverview which occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026,
at his home surrounded by his loving family & friends. Todd
was born in Moncton to Doug and Linda (Robertson)
Burgess.
Todd had a passion for
life and experienced many adventures. He loved riding his Harley
Davidson motorcycle and travelling with his parents on several Bus
Tours (His favorite was Nashville at the George Jones Museum). He was
an outdoors guy who enjoyed fishing and picking fiddleheads for his
mother. In his younger years he loved cycling and was an avid Wildcats
Fan and enjoyed several games with Jacob and Scott.
The love of his life
was his daughter Kalle. The bond Kalle and Todd shared was very
special and they also shared the same sense of humour which was very
prevalent when spending an evening watching funny videos together. The
laughter filled the house with lasting memories.
Todd enjoyed working
and was a true company man. He started his first job at the Atlantic
Super Store in Riverview at age 15 when it first opened. Following
graduation he took his Red Seal Welders Course in Moncton. After
Graduation this took him to Hartland at Craig’s
Manufacturing followed by several adventures to Alberta, Newfoundland
and Africia. Upon return to N.B. he worked at Glenwood Kitchens in
Shediac for a few years. He then became the friendly face at the Holy
Whale where he touched many lives with his love and kindness. Todd
enjoyed his work there and found close friends in his employers, Jeff
and Peter Grandy.
He will be dearly
missed by his loving parents Doug and Linda, daughter Kalle, brother
Scott (Lorrie), nephew Jacob, his best friend Matt Sullivan who was
like a brother to him, former spouse and loving friend Elisha Burgess,
aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends Mark & J.I., who
held his hand until the end. He is predeceased by an infant son
Jonathan Todd, his maternal grandparents Leonard & Evelyn
Robertson and paternal grandparents Jack & Stella
Burgess.
