Thomas Ross Obituary
TJ spent the majority of his life in California and Hawaii. He retired at the young age of 31 from his job as a Derrickman in the oil fields. Following his retirement, he dedicated himself to raising his three daughters with his wife of 38 years, Ronda. TJ was actively involved in his daughter's education, volunteering weekly in their classrooms, chaperoning field trips and overseeing various projects. He was a devoted stay-at-home parent. In his leisure time, TJ enjoyed fishing, hiking with his beloved dog, Aqua and riding his Harley.
TJ is preceded in death by one daughter; his mother; and his brother.
He is survived by his wife; his children; his father; and three sisters.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Midwest Cremation and Funeral Services of Springfield, MO.
