Jedd Benjamin Sereysky MD, PhD, 34, passed away on October 29th, 2018. Jedd was the son of Andrew and Joan Sereysky, brother of Brett Sereysky and husband of Jessica Nikitczuk Sereysky.
Jedd was born on July 18, 1984 in New York City and raised in Scarsdale. He graduated from Scarsdale High School in 2002 and then from the University of Rochester in 2006 with a BS and MS in Biomedical Engineering, with a focus on Biomechanics. He went on to earn his MD and PhD at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. He completed a General Surgery Residency at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, and had just begun training in the Harvard Combined Plastic Surgery Residency Program.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Goldwurm Auditorium of the Ichan Medical Institute, located at 1425 Madison Avenue, on Saturday, November 10th at 1:00PM. Jedd’s family and friends will be wearing bright colors and pastels to honor Jedd.
Jedd and Jessica’s first child, Benjamin, is due in January 2019. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked those who knew and loved Jedd to come together to support Benjamin’s education. For that reason, the JBS Memorial Scholarship has been created to ensure that Benjamin has every opportunity to pursue higher education in honor of his dad. Donations can be made here.
