Ross was a graduate of Brazoswood High School in 2003. He then started Texas A&M and graduated from University of Houston. Ross loved his job at Andersen Windows & Door as Business Development, working under both Mark Neal and Kellen Gray.
Ross had many traits attributed to a middle child. He was a great mediator, negotiator and listener. He was innovative, independent and self motivated. Ross did not crack under pressure, which at an early age, earned him the nickname of Iceman. Ross made friends easily, and was true to each and every one of them. He supported them, gave advice and made all that knew him feel happy. He had so many dreams and so many plans for the future. He would have made those dreams come true. Ross did not leave on his terms. He did not want to leave us. He loved life, family and friends, and will continue to love all from his heavenly home. He achieved his goal of making us proud, and he achieved his goal of being proud of himself. Our lives will never be the same. Ross Andrew made sure of that.
