Ross attended school first at Wapiti School then in Wembley and Grande Prairie. After graduation, he ventured to Calgary to begin his career in the geophysical industry. He worked as Observer on seismic crews in the Artic region and western Canada.

Ross was engaged in his community. He decided to enter politics and run for County Council. He became the proud representative of Division 4. While on Council he spent time on many boards, including Evergreen Park and the Phillip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum where he worked tirelessly to see the growth of the museum. Prior to his time on County Council he was passionate about assisting in the foundation and expansion of the Grande Prairie Stompede.
He was a long-time collector of Massey Harris antique farm equipment, meeting like-minded lifelong friends along the way. In retirement he enjoyed playing cards with his buddies.
He is survived by his wife Shirley; sisters Ruth, Myret (Jack) and Anne (Gord); many nieces and nephews and their families along with a large circle of friends.
