Edward Ross

Eddie was a kind and generous soul. He was continuously striving to make the world a better place. His passions were many including nature, music, soccer and his family. He was a builder of businesses, community and relationships. His empathy and compassion were a gift to all who knew him. He knew no strangers. Eddie left us very suddenly from unknown causes on July 20, 2014 at age 57.

Eddie was born on October 18, 1956 in Wilmette, Illinois to Merrill and Marilyn Ross. He graduated New Trier West High School in Chicago and The University of Colorado, Boulder.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Beth Anne Lichtenstein Ross and their 2 1/2 year old son, Gavriel Michael Lichtenstein Ross, daughter Anastasia Hope Ross-McKirnan, son Corey Allen Ross-McKirnan and their mom Carolanne McKirnan, sister Deborah Ross Brown, Brother-in-law Steve Brown and mother, Marilyn Ross and MANY many friends and extended family.

Eddie was always about the higher purpose, the greater good and a simple life.

He was rock, he was water. He was teacher, father, son. He was big sky. He was magic. He was home.

Eddie you were loved and you will be dearly missed.
