Ross Judkins Peacefully left a world of love behind him on 11 Aug 2024. Born 20 Nov 1936, he lived a life of service, curiosity, humor, and love.
The most important things to him were being a husband for 68 years to his Vonnie, father to 4 kids, Dave (Donna), Evonna (Dave), Karen (Steve) and Eric (Teresa), grandfather to 9 and great-grandfather to 4 kids.
Ross is also survived by his daughter of the heart, Tigist; sisters, Cynthia and Laurel (Curt) and brother-in-law Dave (Soledad).
He was a soldier, an electrical engineer, working 47 years for NSP/Xcel, a brave helper in emergencies, a lifetime learner, and a forever lover of "his girl." A good life well lived.
Funeral at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in N. St Paul, 20 Aug 2024 at 11 AM, with a time for sharing at 10 AM and after internment. Memorial service at Sychar Church in Silver Bay, TBD.
In lieu of flowers, or a tree consider support the Friends of the Silver Bay library where Ross checked out over 253 books.
