Mr. Ross was born on Aug. 30, 1954 in Jackson, MS to the late Gerald Ross and Shirley Lee Ross. Mark was a devoted husband and father.

He and his wife shared thirty three wonderful years of marriage and raised two children together. He and his family were so blessed to share a close knit bond that could never be broken. He was a simple man that lived life to the fullest. His eye for photography was always his passion, and he was able to share that with his daughter.
