My Dad, John R Ross, finally got to meet his Jesus face to face on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. His passing was very peaceful in our home with my husband Greg, our daughter Ashley and me by his side. Daddy had been on hospice care for several weeks due to congestive heart failure and serious swallowing issues. When I say he was ready to go home to heaven, I mean he was ready.

Daddy was born in Spiro, Oklahoma to Othie and John Ross on May 17, 1933. He was raised in Alma, Arkansas where he graduated high school then headed to the Army. He served in the Army for three years with part of his time in Germany. After he got out of the Army, he went to Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga, TN where he received a degree in religion.
