Timothy Ross Obituary

Timothy Dwayne Ross was born December 30, 1980 to the proud parents of Eddie and Carolyn Ross in Memphis, TN. Tim fought cancer more than once and due to the harsh effects of treatment, his life was taken too soon. Tim died at the age of 40 at Methodist North Hospital where he was an Emergency Department Tech. Tim was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harold and Mary Ross and Alvin and Helen Hurt. Tim leaves behind his daughters, McKenzie Grace Ross of Milan, TN and Kennedy Annalyse Ross of Jackson, TN.

Tim graduated Class of 1999 from Gibson County High School in Dyer, TN. In 2005 Tim became an EMT and worked in various areas of Medical Emergency Services. Tim loved to help people in need, in people's most tragic moments he was there to help. He would be calm, call you hun or buddy, and gave you the care you needed. In Tim's last years, even in his own illnesses, he came to work feeling sick himself and still cared for patients and loved being a part of the ER family. He loved to make his coworkers laugh and gave the best hugs. We are thankful for his friend, Amy Sanders, who was at his side. We are grateful to all the medial staff who have cared for him over the years especially his coworkers and those at West Cancer Center.

Tim had the most beautiful and infectious smile, a goofy personality, he told jokes that were not that funny, and if you were loved by Tim, you were loved fiercely. He loved making people laugh with his sense of humor and even more he loved to be the center of attention. He loved being a father. He would dance in the living room with his girls and sing Elvis songs to them. We are blessed that his daughters mirror his smile and his quick wit. Tim loved UT football, watersports, and most of all shopping.
