Jack Burness Obituary
Jack Burness
July 15, 1946
January 20, 2022
With his bigger than life personality, humor, and intellect, he was loved and respected by so many people. Born in Brooklyn NY, Jack had a huge appetite for the outdoors of Colorado Springs and Martha's Vineyard. He is survived by his loving wife Maureen Burness (Cicione) son Steve Cicione, his wife Carrie, daughter Jessica Todd, her partner Jeff Wheat, sister Claire Widmer, nephew Tony Widmer, his wife Cyndi and family, sisters-in-law Pat Walsh, Eileen Schneider, Christine Browning and their families and best friend Richie Lary. Jack took his beloved grandchildren Aden and Noah Todd, Elizabeth, Hannah and Ryan Cicione on amazing adventures that they will always remember. Jack is now on his next great adventure. Details regarding a gathering in his behalf will be forthcoming.

I'm just one of many that met Jack and was able to learn from him. A man who made the world a better place.

Maureen, I am so sorry for your loss. It's been many years since I saw you (I live north in Centennial), but I will not forget you. My heart goes to you and your family. Cathy
ps. My mother passed in Oct. of last year, so I've taken to reading the Gazette obits once in a while. Odd, and a bit morbid I guess. :-(
