Alex Ross

It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce after a courageous battle with cancer, the peaceful passing of Alexandre (Alex) Ross on July 11, 2012 at the St.Boniface Hospital.

He will be sadly missed by his wife, life companion and his best friend Paulette. His three children: Rose (Frank Pearce), Tylor and Jesse, Real (Kathy), and Ronald (Courtney), Beau, Tucker and their mother Melanie, 2 stepsons: Paul (Andree), Danielle, Lisa, Genevieve and Claude (Julie), Katherine and Caleb. He is survived by his 3 brothers and 1 sister: Horace, Archie (Jeannine), Roland (Marie Rose), Gloria (John) Lajoie, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many in-laws.

Alex was predeceased by his parents Philippe and Anaise, 2 brothers and 2 sisters: Rene (Irene), Edward, Germaine (Hank Durand), Simone (Eugene) Legal, 2 sisters-in-law: Dorothé Ross, Rita Ross, and most recently in April by his brother-in-law Denis St.Godard his buddy of many years.

Alex started his company Triple R Metal, named after his three children in 1979. He made a success of it and enjoyed going to work everyday. His motto for his work ethic was “quality not quantity”. He enjoyed the many years he wintered in Texas where he made many acquaintances and memories.

A private service will be held. Flowers are kindly declined. Donations in Alex’s memory can be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 1160-675 McDermot Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9.
