William (Bill) Burress our loving father, husband, brother and dear friend passed away October 23rd from a heroic bought with pancreatic cancer.  

What we originally thought was just a nagging cough over the summer quickly lead to a devastating diagnosis and sudden, untimely death merely 4 months later.  He leaves behind his wife Bertina Burress and sons William Jr. (Lacey), Aaron, Jordan and his youngest son Caleb. 

Bill was one of the most kind and selfless people you'd ever meet. He had a huge heart and contagious smile. More than anything else he loved God, his family (biological and church), his city the SE side of Grand Rapids, Catholic Central Football and his alma mater the Michigan Wolverines. 

 All contributions, gifts, condolences, love and support are greatly appreciated during this difficult time. All proceeds will directly benefit funeral/burial costs, any outstanding medical bills, immediate household obligations and continued support of Bill's wife Bertina and 14 year old son Caleb, just a freshman in high school. 

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.
