Ross Bausone

Ross was a man with a larger-than-life Italian personality and a heart just as big. For 35 years Ross built a successful career as a car salesman, known not only for his dedication and work ethic, but for his charm, quick wit, ability to make anyone feel like family and he never met a stranger.

As an avid hunter for many years, Ross found peace and joy in the great outdoors. However, nothing pleased him more than to barbecue ribs for the whole family. For 20 yrs he served as an usher at St. Francis Church in Frisco, Texas. For his friends, family and neighborhood, he was also known as Santa Claus. Whether in the woods or at a family gathering, he lived life passionately and on his own terms. He loved deeply, laughed loudly, and left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Above all, Ross cherished his family and friends, he was a devoted husband, a loving father, a proud grandfather and great-grandfather. His legacy is one of loyalty, laughter, storytelling, and unconditional love.

He is survived by his wife of 51 yrs, Karen Bausone, his daughter and son-in-law, Camille & Steve Livorsi, his sisters Patty Butler & Suzette Rogers, his granddaughter and grandson, Shelbi & Dillon Quinn, his 4 great-grandsons, several nieces, nephews and cousins, who will forever hold him close in their hearts. Ross was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Peter Bausone and his son, Michael Bausone.

Ross will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the stories shared, the laughter remembered, and the love he gave so freely.
