Burtis Franklin Myers Jr.

Burtis Franklin Myers, Jr., affectionately known as Burt, of Springfield Township, passed away on July 6, 2025 at his residence surrounded by his loving family. He was 79 years old. Son of the late Laura and Burtis, Sr., Burt was born August 14, 1945 and raised on the long-time family-owned farm in Springfield Township, where his family still resides to this day. He attended Springfield elementary school in his youth and Northern Burlington High School. He was part of the first graduating class to go all the way through, which he was very proud of. Burt was a music lover and played the piano, trombone, and organ. He was a passionate member of the bands The X-Ceptions and CATS. During his years with The X-Ceptions, while playing at The Gables in Margate, he met the love of his life Paula - a story he loved to tell to everyone he met. Burt was an avid drag racing fan, car enthusiast and collector; a passion he shared with his oldest son Frank. He loved taking his 1938 Ford 4 door sedan deluxe (bought brand new by his grandfather) to car shows. He also loved MOPAR muscle cars, especially his 1968 Coronet R/T. He spent many hours in his garage spending time and having long talks with his closest friends Lloyd Luker and Joe Hinnegan. He enjoyed taking his “Winnie” to the Farm Fair, drag races, car shows, Eagles games, and tailgating. He was a long-time season ticket holder. Above all else, Burt loved his big family. He was very proud of his wife, children, and grandchildren, who were a source of joy throughout the years. He would do anything for his family, including creating a pasta-threaded hotdog dish for his granddaughters when they could not agree on what to have for dinner. His grandchildren are, without question, his pride and joy. Burt is predeceased by his parents Burtis Franklin Myers, Sr. and Laura Myers, his Aunt Hellen Reeves, Uncle Bob Reeves, close cousin Bobby Reeves, Uncle Joe Tomasetti and Aunt Doris Tomasetti. Burt is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Paula Myers, his children Frank and his wife Gina, Jon and his wife Tori, and his son Ian. He was a loving and proud grandfather to Franklin, Kylie, Reid, Alexia, Travis, Jillian, and Ryder, uncle to 3 nephews and 5 nieces, and many close family members and great friends.
