Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryEDMOND ROSS After a courageous battle with cancer Edmond (Eddy) Ross of Woodridge, MB., passed away at the St. Boniface General Hospital on Monday, April 14, 2003. Eddy was born in Winnipeg on July 26, 1978. He was employed at McPhillips Street Station as a maintenance technician. Eddy will be missed by his loving wife Lisa (nee Auch) and their six month old son Ian; mother Marie Gauthier-Richardson and husband Gary; father Steve Ross and wife Carole; sister Chantal Ross and friend Lee Nolin; brother Noel Ross and wife Jennifer; step brother Marcus Richardson and wife Charlene of West Vancouver, BC; step sister Janette Richardson and friend Jason Hedley; step sisters, Corinne Bruce and friend Sylvain Dicarie from Montreal, QC and Bonnie Bruce; nephews, Tyler, Brendan and Noah, nieces, Jasmine, Brittany, Brooklynne, Marisa, Trinity; grandparents, Edmond and Marcelle Gauthier of St. Labre, MB, and Leo and Elizabeth Ross of Ste. Anne, MB as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He will also be sadly missed by the Auch family, father and mother-in-law, Dennis and Penny Auch, brothers-in-law, Trever and wife Crystal, Danny and fiance Naomi Adams, Chad and wife Maida, Mike and Matthew; sisters-in-law, Pam and friend Greg Desorcy and Candace. Eddy was predeceased by his uncles, Henry Ross and Kim Alguire in 1999 and his infant daughter Maelynne in May of 2000 who, we are all sure, will be there to greet him as he takes his next journey. Gratitude is extended to the Auch family, who loved him dearly and who opened up their home to both Eddy and Lisa so the Eddy could recuperate in the country. His favourite place was Woodridge. Eddy always remained positive during his fight with cancer and was an inspiration to all of us. Despite his illness, he never stopped thinking of others and always placed family and friends ahead of himself. His final thoughts were of his wife Lisa and his six month old "miracle" son Ian. He passed away surrounded by those he loved and will be forever remembered for his quick mind and caring personality. Special thanks are extended to Dr. Ralph Wong and the staff at CancerCare Manitoba as well as the staff of 5B at St. Boniface Hospital for their valiant efforts to make Eddy comfortable during his last days. A funeral service celebrating Eddys life will be held on Tuesday, April 22 at 10:00 a.m. in the St. Timothys Parish, 135 John Forsyth Rd., Winnipeg, MB. In his memory a Trust Fund has been established for his son. Flowers are gratefully declined.
