Jamie Ross Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A 1997 graduate from Superior Senior High, he went on to earn his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Superior and a Master's degree from St. Scholastica in social work.
He married Amanda Johnson on September 30, 2011 in Grand Rapids, MN. They created a life together in Superior over the next 13 years with their two sons, Grant and Kaison.
Jamie was employed at Northwood Children Services for 20 years and most recently served as Program Director. He volunteered as a coach for Superior Youth Organization for several years. Most recently he was active in coaching his young sons. He impacted a significant number of young lives through his involvement in youth sports and also in his dedication to his work at Northwood Children Services.
Family and friends meant the world to him. He loved participating with his children in sporting activities, could often be found playing catch with his boys in the yard, a family day on the lake, or choosing team members for fantasy football. He loved fishing, especially with his sons. An avid sports fan, he enjoyed watching a Twins or Viking game with friends and family.
Jamie is survived by his wife, Amanda Ross; children, Grant and Kaison; his parents, Jim and LouAnn Ross; siblings: Sean Ross, Andy Ross, Tony (Kirstin) Drake, Matthew Olson and Jasmine Drake; grandparents: Maryanne Ross, Judy Johnson, Lloyd (Judy) VanGuilder; fathers-in-law, Jay Johnson and James Ossefoort; brothers-in-law: Joey (Amber) Johnson, Jason Johnson, Kyle (Eppie) Ossefoort; sister-in-law, Stacy (Toby) Holmgren; biological mother, Kelly Coddington; many nieces and nephews and countless friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harry Ross, Jr, Bill (Evelyn) Carliano, and Brian Johnson; mother-in-law, Tammy Ossefoort; uncles Phillip Johnson and Todd VanGuilder, and beloved pets, Rufus and Bregan.

I remember playing on the streets of Solon Springs with Jamie and Angie (and Jason) across from Grandpa Bill and Grandma Ev's house. We went to pre-school together and I think we made it through first grade. Then he moved and I saw him a few times throughout the years. We shared half a set of grandparents, but we always called one another cousins. We wrestled, threw rocks, but never got into any major trouble. I saw him years later and it was like we never missed a beat. We talked about how we both worked with kids in the school setting and outside of school as well. I later met his Dad, Jimmy working at Northern Lights. Father and son both had such care for others. I will miss you Jamie. Jimmy, if I could hug you I would. Connie, I remember you too, not sure if you remember me. Jamie and I used to play with Grandpa Bill's boxing gloves with Alan by the 'hair shop.' I've always thought of you as family. Prayers going out to you from the Burfield family. Love you!
