In October of 2025, our family learned of the devastating news that our Uncle Jeff Burgess was diagnosed with an aggressive stage 4 Epithelioid Melanoma. This diagnosis ultimately led to further testing and work ups which yielded more shattering news: it was significantly metastatic to multiple other organs in his body. The past few months have been filled with ups and downs and uncertainty while trying work with his healthcare team at Dana Farber to find the best treatment options. And pray every step of the way.
For anyone who has been blessed to know Jeff and Karen, you know how selfless, kindhearted, and supportive they are of their family and friends. Please join us in any way you are able in praying and supporting Jeff and Karen as they navigate this significant challenging road ahead of them filled with countless doctor’s visits, testing, travel, medical bills, and time away from work to do so.
