You can try this code:

<?php
$today=new DateTime();
$count = 0;


$Bdays = array(
    array("Lucienne Adkisson",date_create("2017-10-17")),            
    array("Sheryll Nestle",date_create("2017-02-16")),            
    array("Tim Pittman",date_create("2017-07-29")),           
    array("Elmer Letts",date_create("2017-12-01")),                 
    array("Gino Massengale",date_create("2017-04-16")),              
    array("Jeremy Wiggs ",date_create("2017-09-17")),            
    array("Julian Bulloch ",date_create("2017-06 -21")),             
    array("Joella Hinshaw  ",date_create("2017-06-25")),               
    array("Mamie Burchill  ",date_create("2017-11-15")),                   
    array("Constance Segers  ",date_create("2017-06-30")),                
    array("Jessy Pinkmann",date_create("2017-09-11")),             
    array("Dudley Currie",date_create("2017-02-10"))             
);



for($x = 0, $len = count($Bdays); $x < $len; $x++){

    $diff = date_diff($today, $Bdays[$x][1]);
   
    $difference = $diff->format("  %R%a");
    if($difference > 0){
        if($count == 0){
            $smallest_diff = $difference;
        }
        $count++;
        if($difference < $smallest_diff){
            $smallest_diff = $difference;
            $closest_index = $x;
        }
    }
}

echo "The upcoming birtday person is: <b>" . $Bdays[$closest_index][0] . '</b> and his birthday is on: <b>' . date_format($Bdays[$closest_index][1], "Y/m/d") . '</b>';

?>

It's woking fine. Here is the output:

</div>
