Ross WALHOF Obituary

Age 55 of Eagan, MN Passed away January 27, 2023 Loving Husband, Dad, Son, Brother, Uncle, Cousin, Nephew and friend. Preceded in death by his father, Erv Walhof. Survived by his loving wife, Candy (Wolff), and three sons, Zach (Shelbi), Eli and Noah Wolff; his mother, Sandra Walhof and younger brothers Barry and Reed (Kelley), niece Ava and nephew Charlie. Ross (affectionately nicknamed Chico), lived life loud and full of passion. A 1986 graduate of White Bear Lake High School, Ross later attended the University of River Falls, WI. He enjoyed a long career in medical sales. Chico was the ultimate salesperson. Given his infectious smile, quick wit and cheerful attitude, customers enjoyed buying from him. He exhibited abundant energy and loved to work with his hands. He assisted many friends with building projects. He enjoyed watching and playing sports, especially hockey, but his true love was college football! He loved rock music & 80's hair bands. He & Candy enjoyed traveling, especially to their happy place, Cabo San Lucas. Ross loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter. He created great memories with the Van Hulzen cousins as well as family in Edgerton, MN. He spent hours reminiscing and telling stories of many memorable past events with cousins and friends. Chico will be missed but not forgotten! Service will be held on Thursday, February 16 at Crossroads Church, 5900 Woodbury Drive, Woodbury, MN. 9:30-11AM visitation and service at 11AM.

Chico was the definition of cool in High School. I remember passing him and Pat McAllister my pencil with some test answers on it in Mr. Opatz´s history class. He didn´t need it, it was kind of a joke. He had the best hair and smile. He was very kind and will be missed.

Although I haven't seen him since high school, Chico was always such a big and joyful presence as to never be forgotten. I am heartbroken for those closest to him that your time was cut so very short. But am grateful for reading up on the very full life he enjoyed surrounded by people he loved and who loved him. May perpetual light shine upon him and may memories of his love and joy always give you comfort.
