His unfortunate passing was preceded by his father, Frank A. Ross; his brother Perry Ross and his grandson Kolby Ross.

Linda and family, It is our earnest prayer that God the Father place his loving arms around all of you and give you peace. We will miss Frank, but through his profession of faith we know that we will see him in heaven with a spring in his step and a smile on his face. He affected so many lives for the good with his true example of what a real father and grandfather should be. As a fellow Viet Nam Vet, he is my hero. Some gave all, all gave some. God is welcoming Frank to his heavenly home as we speak. His work, love, family, and friendship have been a blessing.
