Ross, 22 years ago.. we said good bye to a wonderful friend. I remember you often and am thankful you walked into our office 28 yrs ago and wanted to drive. I was thinking if you never worked you.. you wouldn't have gotten hurt... makes me wish we would have never met. But Im thankful we did. Rest on buddy.. I will see you some say again!

I remember Ross from Jr. High, and he was one of the more popular guys in the class. We all looked up to him.
My prayers go out to the Family.

Carol and Family,
I can't tell you how lost I feel without Ross. I remember when he came onboard at Agenda. The first thing he said on his interview was "So do you haul people?". We laughed alot! It makes me feel happy knowing he really loved to drive for people. I have received over 70 calls from passengers both old and new giving their condolences and want you to know they loved having him as a driver and will miss him. One in particular is a lady named Kristie. She always calls him " Her Ross!"
I can't tell you how hard it was to call you that dreadful morning to tell you such terrible news. My heart left me and if I just wanted to climbed through that phone line to hold you. I can't make any sense of it except the lord was in need of a very good man. I will always miss him and the joy he brought to me and others. Thank you for sharing him with us. My prayers are with you all!

Carol and family,
What a shock to learn that Ross had passed away...my thoughts are with you.
My memories of Ross include his willingness to help pack and move my household after my back surgery. And the time he showed up to drive me to church...in a limo!! (He'd made an early trip taking clients to the airport).
Ross' work ethic, knowledge of Kansas city, generosity, and humor enriched many lives. What priceless memories he gave each of us.

I was sorry to learn of Ross's passing. I also attended Roosevelt High (I was older) and rememeber Ross running through the halls always with a smile on his face. I enjoyed visiting with him at the reunions. He will be missed by many. My sympathy to his family.

Ross will be sorely missed by our family and his neighbors. Ross lived across the street from us and we'll miss all the waves & smiles as he came & went. We'll miss the emails, visiting, and even watching him kick his lawn mower in the summer time when it gave him one of its regular fits! :O) On his last day, I was coming home and I passed Ross on his way to work. I'll always treasure that last smile & wave as he went on his way to meet up with his appointment with God. - We miss you Ross, we know you'll keep everyone laughing in Heaven!

My husband and I went to school at Roosevelt with Ross and have enjoyed seeing him at reunions. Always enjoyed his emails. His death is a shock and he will be missed by all who knew him. Each one we lose reminds us of how precious our time together is and how we should all make the most of it. Patricia

I also went to school (but was younger) and was in Scouts with Ross. We did lots of things at school and on campouts. It is a shock and would like more information. Sorry I received this too late to visit or get to the service. An old friend dp

My thoughts are prayers go out to the family of Mr Heath. Such a sudden loss is so hard to bear. Taryn, your father will remain by your side to watch over you as your prepare to begin your life w/Chris. My heart breaks that physically he won't be there but his spirit and his love for you will be there as you go down the aisle. Although i didnt know Taryn's father, from knowing Taryn i can tell he was an intelligent, caring person. My sympathy's extend to all his family and his fiance-i can tell he is much loved and will be missed every minute.

I am shocked and so sorry to hear of the death of Ross. We graduated together at Roosevelt High School and have visited at the reunion the last number of years. He has since last reunion, put me on his joke and thoughts list and has given me many of a happy thought or laugh. We will miss him at the next reunion. Carol thanks so much for letting me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you as well as with his family.

I used to drive with Ross at Agenda, and we enjoyed "razzing" each other about our respective Military Services, he being Army, and I, Air Force. I had, (and still have) a large Beach Tower with the USAF logo, on the back of the rear seat on my car. Ross used to say, "Hey Paeth, whats that funny looking rag in your back seat", or something to that effect. I don`t recall my various replies to his teasing, but I guarantee that it was something "Funny" about the Army. One must be a Veteran to appreciate (and understand) the joshing between guys in uniform, whether they were in a different branch of service, or in the same service. It served to relieve the pressures of military life. Ross was a dependable driver and a good co-worker. I will miss him, and the fun we used to have.
