Roger L. Ross, 65, of Addison NY passed away after a hard-fought battle with cancer at the Robert Packer Hospital on September 13, 2025.

Born September 19, 1959 to the late Neal and Dorothy (Pruden) Ross, Roger happily lived a life of solitude. He enjoyed his freedom alone and away from the hustle and bustle of the world. However, he did enjoy the company of his dogs, cats, and chickens.

Surviving Roger are his two sons Thomas (Katherine) Ross of Hornell NY, James (Brittany) Riffle of Addison NY and his grandchildren Colton (Molly), Hadleigh, Peighton, Brazleigh, Markis, and Karson. Roger was predeceased by his parents and six siblings.

According to Roger's wishes there will be no services. Arrangements are with the H.P. Smith & Son Funeral Home, Woodhull NY.
