We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ross Melville. He is survived by his loving sister Ann (husband Jack), daughters Kimberley, Beverley (husband Bill), stepdaughter Lori, and grandchildren Jake, Morgan, Sydney, and Sebastien. He passed away peacefully at 90 years old with his daughters by his side at Marcelle-Ferron Nursing Home where he was cared for lovingly and with dignity.
Ross lived a full life and was a dedicated Bell Canada linesman for over 35 years. An avid skier, hockey enthusiast, golfer, passionate paddler, and coach, Ross embraced sports, community, friends, and family with joy.
He shared countless unforgettable moments with his daughters Bev, Kim, and Lori, instilling in them a love for life. As they celebrate his life, they carry forward his sense of adventure.
Known for his generous spirit, he touched the lives of everyone around him. His laughter, warmth, and infectious smile will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all. Ross’s superpower was kindness.
See you later, alligator - Ross
