Ken Ross was born in Bakersfield, California to Claude and Lillian Ross on
December 14, 1943. He attended high school in Arvin, California. Ken
grew up in Lamont, California until the age of 17, when he moved to Boron,
California. He married Mary Louise Pollock
on October 27, 1962 in Boron, California. Ken and Mary Lou
were happily married for 57 years. He was the proud owner of Ross
Construction where he worked as a general contractor. There
wasn’t a thing he couldn’t build or fix. Ken was heavily involved in the
betterment of the town he loved so much; he helped build Boron’s
Aerospace Museum, as well as the 20 Mule Team Museum and several other
projects throughout the years. He was also a proud member of the Amargo Cruisers
Car Club. Ken loved restoring old cars to their former glory. He personally
restored two beautiful cars; a 1929 Ford Model A and a 1966 Ford Mustang.
Ken was a hard-working man that represented strength and integrity in
everything he did. He always had a great attitude and witty remark or phrase
ready to use. Ken loved his family, his country and helping other people.
Ken is survived by his wife Mary Louise Ross, his daughter and son-in-law
Mashell and Terry Stevenson, his two sister and brother-in-law, Irene and FO Roe, his sister Helen Barnhart, his granddaughter and grandson-in-law Jenna Martinez and Charlie Martinez, his
grandson Jerek Stevenson, and his nieces and nephews.
Ken was forever thankful for the family that chose to donate their members’ kidney 4 years ago. Ken always appreciated the doctors, nurses and staff that helped him along his journey. He always found time to tell stories and get to know them.
In lieu of flowers, please take a moment and share your memory of Kenny so the family may keep in a memory book.
