Ross D. Barnes

Ross served in the United States Navy from 1970-1976 and spent time his time during his service in San Diego, California, Charleston, South Carolina, and Scotland. He was a Welder by trade and self-taught Computer Aided Drafter/Designer during his career at ATK and later at Petersen Inc.

Ross enjoyed working outside and especially loved mowing his lawn. He liked fixing, building things, and figuring out how stuff works. One of Ross’ favorite pastimes was going for a drive. He never liked to take the same route twice though. You always had to take a different road back home, and often it was the roads less traveled. He also loved spending time with his two little dogs, Bella and Jaxon, who miss him tremendously.

Ross is survived by his three daughters: Melissa (Richard) Hess, Emily (Chris) Glass and Jennifer (Dennis) Bollschweiler. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Tiffany (Robin) Finch, Kyle (Ashley) Hess, Karlee (Rob) Higashi, Kellen Hess, Krystal Glass and Justice Glass. He leaves behind seven beautiful great granddaughters: Brooklyn, Addi, Taylinn, Hayden, Blake, Parker and Harper. Ross is also survived by his sister Susan (Neal) Johnson. He will also be missed by many friends, neighbors, and extended family members.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Becki, mother (Marilyn), father (Ralph), Step-Father Fred Broersma, Father- and Mother-in-law A.C. and Doris Christensen.
