Ross D'Esposito, age 30, a native of Denville, New Jersey and a resident of Brownstown, Indiana, lost his battle with addiction and depression on June 22nd, 2024. 


In spite of momentary intense low points, there were mostly happy times and laughs shared with Ross. Every time he struggled and fell, he always landed on his knees, praying to his higher power. He was deeply loved by family, friends, and co-workers. Ross was a smart-ass and always quick with a joke. He loved fishing, playing guitar, and writing music.


He is survived by

Parents, Carrie and Stephen D'Esposito

Sisters, Jessica D'Esposito, Sarah D'Esposito, Madelynn Begovich & brother-in-law, Max Begovich and Stella D'Esposito.

Nephews, Rowan Murphy, Oliver Murphy, and John Begovich

Grandparents, Charles and Theresa O'Bryan, Jane D'Esposito

And many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.


Private family memorial services will be held at a later date.

The family requests in lieu of flowers or gifts, please send donations to New Beginnings in Seymour, IN.


If anyone reading this is suffering please seek help in honor of Ross. Text or call 988 if you or anyone you know is struggling.


Daniel and Betsy Christensen have been entrusted with the arrangements.
