I only knew him a short time but in that time he taught me so much about life, about loyalty, true friendship, etc. We shared some great intense moments that I've relived over and over these past few days. My sincere condolences to his family and the close knit group of friends he talked about constantly and loved like family.

Simply unbelievable. Although I have not spoken with Ross in about 3 years, I will never forget the years spent with him all throughout Junior High and High School. He was easily one of the nicest & funniest people I ever had the privilege of knowing and one of the few that I remember from those days of my life. Ross was taken from us far to soon, and we will all miss him greatly.

God Bless the family. Mr. Shreves helped change my son life forever. My son was bullied and picked on by kids that would lie when he reported it and they rarely got in trouble this happened from 1st - 7th grade, then God sent an Angel Mr. Shreves he took a leap of Faith and chose to BELIEVE in my son Nicholas Handy and this gave my son HOPE and he learned to Press and ENJOY life. Mr. Shreves often checked on him even in High School to make sure he was fine. Words can not begin to express my thankfulness that we crossed paths. His impact has definitely been imprinted on my son heart.
