My sincerest condolences to Ross' family and friends.

I had an opportunity to work with Ross at Reno PD's Front Desk in late 1988 (I was an Admin Clerk II). I remember one time I was having problems getting through to a caller, and Ross signaled for me to put him on hold. I explained the situation to Ross. Ross picked up another phone when I picked up mine, and he listened in on the call. He covered his phone and whispered to hang up. Both of us hung up at the same time--hanging...

Ross Aguiar was the epitome of Character! I first knew him at 14, I thought I would teach him things because I was older, wow was I wrong! He lived life with seizing every moment, and helping everyone. When I needed him he was there, when no-one believed in me Ross was there. When I was wrong, he told me I was wrong. I never knew a guy who was absolutely afraid of nothing, in sports, in life and in business.
I can't imagine what Ross's family has lost, but I know this World will never...

My deepest sympathy to the Aguilar family. I went to school with Glenn and knew of Ross. Also friends with Tam and Robin. May God be with you all and prayers coming your way. Much love.

I went to BSU with Ross graduating in Criminal Justice with him. He was a wonderful person. I am so sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathies for the family in their loss of such a nice man. I will miss seeing him in church- RIP Ross

So sorry to hear about Ross passing. He was one of the best people a have ever met, when I worked for a pediatrician's office and Sue and Ross brought their children there. Rest in Peace Ross. You are loved by so many. All my love to Sue and children.

Sue, Emily, Betsy, and Jake - I had the pleasure of announcing the RTOC tournaments and through that connection a lifelong friendship was forged. Ross was a gentle giant and his presence was always welcomed by so many. My family and I enjoye his hospitality and friendship. Ross will be forever missed. God bless each of you during this time and in the future.

This man taught me the meaning of hard work, a high single leg, and everything I know of the sport of wrestling. He sat on the Boards for Boise State and Oklahoma State wrestling. He was the creator of the TOC (Tournament of Champions), the toughest wrestling tournament that lay claim to Cael Sanderson's final loss as an ammy. He introduced me to the Olympian John Smith and UFC Stars Dan Henderson and Uriah Faber. Without him,I would have never known my passion for combat sports. Today, the...
