Ross was a big teddy bear with a heart of gold, who’d give anyone the shirt off his back. He was the life of the party, always up for a good time, especially if fishing, bonfires, or sharing stories were in store. Ross will be remembered for his shenanigans, contagious giggle, and overall love of life.
