Robert Alan Burden Jr, age 46, of Kennewick, passed away on Monday afternoon August 11th, 2025. He was born August 29th, 1978, in Provo, Utah, son of Robert and Kristine Burden.

Rob grew up in Washington State with his family obtaining a degree from Washington State University along with a love for the Cougs. He loved sports and was an avid Patriots fan. Although he lived in Washington most of his life, he was an adventurer and embraced opportunities for cultural exchange in both Brazil and Australia. Whether he was telling stories or jokes, he was always the life of the party, bringing laughter and joy to those around him. He cherished moments spent with his children as well as his nieces and nephews attending sporting events, plays and pageants. He valued his family above all else and his affectionate ways and gregarious nature will be profoundly missed.

Rob's memory lives on in his three children Elijah Burden, Colin Burden and Madeline Burden; wife, Andrea Burden; siblings and in-laws; Alex Burden, Sarah MacPherson, Heather Burden, Andy MacPherson, Nathan Nash and Kris Nash; several nephews and nieces, Ethan Burden, Kaden Burden, May MacPherson, Oliver MacPherson, Lexi Nash and Zach Nash; his parents in law, Bob and Marie Nash; and his parents Bob and Kristine Burden. He also leaves behind many other family and friends who will miss him dearly.

‍Funeral service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday September 6th, at New Vintage Church in Richland. Burial will follow at Mueller's Desert Lawn Memorial Park.
