Tribute
Ross passed away peacefully on November 19 th after enduring many years of serious health
issues. Ross is survived by his loving wife, Heather, brother Murray (Cathy), son Michael
(Kacey), Grandsons Bennett and Evan.
Ross was born in Vancouver before moving to Vancouver Island where he would meet Heather.
The two later settled in Abbotsford to start a family and further a career in the automotive
industry. Ross and Heather also purchased the Pirates Den Fish and Chip Restaurant before
Ross would later focus the next 30 years on his own company wholesaling vehicles in BC and
Washington State. Ross had a kind, caring and charismatic personality. He enjoyed going out to
eat with family, had a major sweet tooth, a love for Diet Coke, and watching Golf on the
weekends.
The family wishes to thank the caring staff at the Cottage Pavilion where Ross spent the last 8
years after suffering a debilitating Stroke. No service will be held.
We are grateful for the time we had with Ross and will carry his memory in our hearts forever.
He will be deeply missed.
