George Ross Whitlock, age 69, passed away from Covid complications on October 26, 2021 in Payson, Utah.

Ross was born November 11, 1951 in Gunnison, Utah to Dale C. and Bessie Bell Whitlock. Ross graduated from Provo High School in 1970 and married Sally Schoenrock in 1971. Together they had 4 kids; Jeff, Lisa, Chad, and Chelsea. Ross was drafted to serve in the United States Army during the Vietnam War and went to Berlin, Germany where he served as a Military Police Officer at Checkpoint Charlie. Dad loved this country and was proud to have served.

Ross was an insurance adjuster for many years and worked in Utah and Salt Lake County. He retired several years ago and loved going on rides with his friends and family in his side by side. Ross loved the Arizona sunrise, a good sci-fi book or TV show so he could “get off the planet”, and his family. Ross never had a bad word to say about anyone, always had a dad joke ready to tell, and a smile on his face.

Ross’ life was enhanced five years ago when he met up with childhood friend Patricia, fell in love, and later married. He said she treated him better than anyone had in his life and he loved her very much. We are grateful he got to be loved the way he deserved.

Ross is survived by his sweet wife, Pat, his four children, three step-children, nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, his brother Todd (Lisa) and his sister Janet (Tim). Ross was preceded in death by his parents, and brothers Stephen and Lind.
