(Timothy) Ross Alton went home to be with his Lord on Saturday, October 26, 2019. He was born July 13, 1947 and grew up with his 7 siblings in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. In his late teens he moved to Victoria, BC, and built a wonderful family life with his wife, Doreen, and their two children, Brian and Michelle.
Ross loved God wholeheartedly. This defined his life, and shaped his unreserved love and generosity to others. Ross was a man who lived with intention ~ he made time for people, whether family, friend, or stranger, and chances were if you met Ross, you’d soon find yourself welcomed to a meal at the family’s table. He loved the church, and through many years, and many roles, he created a safe place for people to ask challenging questions, and to grow in their faith.
Ross was a deep, creative thinker, who loved adventure, and his unconventional approach created many memorable moments, often repeated at gatherings around that shared table. His big laugh and loving presence will be greatly missed, though we know he is now with Christ, who was the source of his hope and joy.
A memorial service, followed by a tea, will be held Friday, November 8 at 1:00 pm at Lambrick Park Church, 1780 Feltham Road, Victoria, BC.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ross’s name to Food for the Hungry Canada fhcanada.org or to Camp Imadene imadene.com
