Ross was born on December 24, 1971, in Carthage, NY. Ross spent the last several years working for his longtime friend, George Kirby, at Kirby’s Garage in Heuvelton, NY. He enjoyed the many simple things life had to offer. Ross loved being outdoors, building, hunting, fishing, working and most of all spending time with his family and friends. Ross will be remembered as always being the “jokester” among his friends and family, making sure to always bring out a laugh, often turning someone’s bad day into a good day. He was always willing to lend a helpful hand in whatever way he could.
