In Memory
Aaron Lee Burgess
Aaron Lee Burgess, passed away on January 19, 2025, in South Bend, Indiana, at the age of 53. Born on August 27, 1971, in Louisville, Kentucky, Aaron was a man whose vibrant spirit and creative soul left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Aaron's life was one of passion and artistry. He dedicated many years to the Bradley Company, where he worked in maintenance, but his true calling was as a painter and tattoo artist. His works were not just displays of talent but expressions of his optimistic outlook on life. Aaron's love for reading nurtured his mind and spirit, while his joy for singing filled the hearts of those around him.
Though he has left this world, Aaron's legacy continues through his beloved family. He was preceded in death by his father, Elmo Burgess, and his mother, Nancy Veach.
His memory will be cherished and kept alive by his children: Emma Burgess of Nappanee, Indiana; Lucy Burgess of LaGrange, Indiana; Lily Mougin of South Bend, Indiana; Darrion Burgess of California; and Jackson Burgess of Wakarusa, Indiana. Aaron was also a proud and loving grandfather to Alari Morningstar of Nappanee, Indiana.
