Warren Alfred Ross, age 79, passed away June 17, 2023.  His family and friends know him as Al.

He was born December 18, 1943 to Helen Tuckett and Warren Alexander Ross in Santaquin, Utah, where he remained the majority of his lifetime.

He proudly served his country in the US Army for 18 months until he was honorably discharged due to an injury.

He will be greatly missed by his wife of 58 years, Mary Ella Lazenby Ross.  They have four children: Lisa Ross, Todd Ross, Jenny Ross Lang (and Keith Lang), and Robert Ross.

One of Al’s greatest joys was being the FAVORITE Grandpa to 14 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. He was heartbroken when he was preceded in death by his son, Todd; his grandsons: Shayne DeWitt, Dakota Olsson Lang, Jakob Olsson Lang; and his great-granddaughter, Hailey EllaMarie Haws.  We all feel peace in our hearts knowing he has been reunited with them.

Al was a world-renowned falconer and a published writer which took him to Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, and Mexico.  He was an extremely talented sculptor.  He also loved fly fishing and tying his own flies.

Al Ross didn’t just teach compassion and unconditional love, he lived his life as an example of these qualities.  He never gave up when our family experienced hardship; instead, he gave more! He never judged because he only saw hope in every human being.  He leaves behind a legacy of the most important qualities a human being can share.

If you are one of the many people whose heart he touched, please join our Celebration of His Life on July 16, 2023, at Kelly’s Grove in Hobble Creek Canyon, Springville, Utah, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
