Ross was a friend to all who knew him. He had a quiet, but fun-loving spirit and enjoyed spending time with his family and his many friends, watching movies, playing video games, playing basketball, and wearing the latest fashions. He loved his large family, especially his grandmothers, deeply. He dreamed of being a businessman--an entrepreneur--and enjoyed helping others. He was baptized at Light of The World Christian Church by his father in 2006 and he knew and loved the Lord.
