Jason R. Burns, 43, of Arnold passed away in his home on Friday, February 25, 2022. Jason was born in St. Louis and is survived by his children, Joseph (Joey) Burns and daughter Morgan Rae Burns, along with their mother Tasha Wood, Mother Cheryl McCoy and Father Donald Burns (Laura Burns), maternal grandmother Joyce Russell and paternal grandmother Alice Burns, siblings Holly Porter (Matthew), Amanda Rickly, Sandy Taylor-Davey (Pete) of Ca, and Joshua Taylor (Jessica). Jason was affectionately known and loved as Frank by Kaylee and Kylie Wood.
Jason was loved and cherished by many more family members and friends. He and his partner Nick worked together developing Big Show Productions and Jason enjoyed his career providing music, fun, and memories for events from weddings to school dances. Jason was also generous with his time, often donating his services to cancer benefits, local domestic violence shelter toy drives, and many others who touched his heart.
Jason could be counted on for so much laughter and fun at any gathering, to tell you all about his mad ninja skills and love of cookies – seriously, he would go to great lengths to convince you to bake and deliver cookies for him. His humor, spirit, and warmth will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

My heart is truly saddened!! I can’t believe you are gone. I will miss your kind heartedness and willingness to help when could, but most of all I will miss your sense of humor and ability to instantly bring a smile to my face and make me laugh. R.I.P BURNS, you will be truly missed!
Jason, I don’t have many memories of my twenties and early thirties without you. You and Tasha were an instrumental relationship to my family. Our babies grew up together. And you continued to be a mentor until you passed. I have no words. You will be greatly missed. And I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to tell you how important you are. And I will never forget you wrapping my car in cling wrap when I was ready to deliver Makayla. Or the hours of philosophical debate, and you sprained your arm ( running drunk)playing hide and go seek in the woods. But you found me ! Blessings to your family and much love as they grieve your passing.
In my heart forever
Erica
