04 August 1942 – 11 February 2024
The Ross family sadly announces the passing of Peter on Sunday, February 11, 2024, at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton. For months, Peter wanted to leave his earthly tent and go on to his spiritual dwelling. The weakness of his body was frustrating to him and he is happy to be free of it. Peter will be missed but we know that he is a much better place, free from what bound him.
Peter had a full life of serving others. He worked at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital as a practical nurse and as an orthopedic technician. At the University of Alberta Hospital and Karl Hager Limb and Brace he served amputees and those with knee
injuries. Before retiring, he owned a deli in Kenora, Ontario and a sausage shop in the Allendale community in Edmonton.
Peter served God by service to others. He loved people and was willing to listen and
encourage. He did mission work in Cambodia and loved the Khmer people.
Peter is survived his wife of 60 years, Linda; son Michael (Colleen), their children Jessica, Owen & Evan; daughter Miranda (Bernie Weidemann), her children Jackson (Lindsey Wilson), Olivia & Deborah Crone; and great-grandchildren Cohen & Elyse. He leaves his brother Doug, sisters Susan, Deborah & Bonnie; his brothers-in-law Harold, Arnold (Kathy) & Harvey (Joan) Johnson and Graham (Helen) McIvor; his sisters-in-law Myra (Danny) & Raili (Howard) Dodd. He also leaves numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces & great-nephews as well as extensive his church family.
Peter’s memorial will be at 1:00 pm on Saturday, March 2, 2024, at the Edmonton Church of Christ, 13015 116 Avenue NW, Edmonton. Please click here to view the service online.

We offer our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Peter John Ross 2024 and hope that their memory may be a source of comfort during this difficult time. Your thoughts and kind words are greatly appreciated.
Peter’s generosity will always be a beacon for me. In 1986, he and Linda graciously opened their home to my wife and me as we made preparations to move to Edmonton. Peter has been an overcomer, an empathizer, a living thanksgiving to our heavenly Father. I thank God for Peter Ross! -Roy McDonald
