Pat Green revealed that his family suffered a "deeply personal loss." His revelation came after news came out that the country musician's stepbrother and his sister-in-law died because of the flooding that happened in central Texas.
In an Instagram post on Monday, July 7, 2025, Green stated that, like many others, his family had suffered a loss due to the Texas flooding.
"Over the weekend, during the devastating flooding that hit Central Texas, my family—like so many others—suffered a heartbreaking and deeply personal loss," he wrote.
One of those who died, John Burgess, is Pat Green's stepbrother, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He was reportedly staying in an RV camp in Kerr County with his wife, Julia Anderson Burgess. Their two sons were also with them.
According to KWTX, the family was staying by the Guadalupe River. After the severe rainfall on July 4, the river reportedly rose over 25 feet in less than an hour.
Julia's death was reported by KHOU, with her body reportedly recovered on Monday, July 7, but at the time of writing, the fate of both their sons, Jack and James, is still a mystery. As of Monday evening, the boys remained missing. Meanwhile, their daughter was not with them at the time of the flooding, as she was at a summer camp nearby, per KHOU, and was not affected.
NBC reported that the death toll from the Texas flooding has risen past 100. Meanwhile, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a July 7 statement that emergency support and local officials are continuing with the recovery and rescue of flood victims. But with the ongoing threat of heavy rain, he urged Texans to remain ready for disaster.
