Not sure what to say?

I worked with Ross at Akamai last year and am heartbroken to hear of his passing. It was such a privilege to get to know him while we worked together, and his strong work ethic, easy going nature, and friendliness always stood out. My thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.

Don, Laura, & Will we are so sorry for your loss. Ross was a wonderful person who made an impact on everyone he met. You are in our hearts.

R.I.P. Ross, I am deeply saddened to lose Ross this early in life. The thing I will always remember about Ross is that he always had a smile on his face anytime I would see him. It isn´t about the years in your life, it´s about the life in your years. Ross lived his life to the fullest and will be forever missed. Love, Chris Lenchinsky

Dear McKee Family - We are so sorry to learn this news. I remember Ross from Science Olympiad days. May Ross's memory be for a blessing and may G-d comfort you in the days ahead. Sending much love, the Weiner Family

Our deepest condolences for this heartbreaking loss. We met Ross through Troop 243 after he had graduated, but still came back to help with the luminaria fundraiser. He went above and beyond to offer his help and leadership with warmth, grace, and kindness.

My condolences to you Don, Laura, and Will. As Don´s co-worker for 12 years, I've heard many great and loving stories about Ross and Will. Ross had to know how loved he was. I enjoyed reading about his rich, yet too short, life.

McKee family, I was very happy to work with Ross as his Academic Advisor at RIT. Ross was such a smart kid, loved by the club and his friends very dearly and his presence always brought kindness and laughter to our advising meetings and the club room. You should be so proud of him and his impact on us all. The picture below makes me laugh each time as the students got matching jackets in hopes to get on the jumbotron at the hockey game, these smiles are a memory I will continue to cherish....

Laura, Don, and Will, our deepest condolences to you for your loss. Ross was a good friend to our boys. We're keeping you in our thoughts.

Rip Ross. I´ve had Crohn´s disease for 22 years .prayers go out to you. God bless
