Joseph "Joe" Ross, 18, of Lake of the Woods went to be with Jesus Friday, Sept. 22, 2006.
Joe was killed in a car accident on his way home from Grace College, Winona Lake, Ind., where he was a freshman. He graduated from Fredericksburg Christian School in May of this year.
Joe was a member of the FCS swim team, the FCS Key Club, National Honor Society, the Lake of the Woods swim team and The Lake of the Woods Church youth group.
In light of Joe's faith, we know that he is now in heaven with his savior. Because of this, the family will have a celebration of Joe's life on Friday, Sept. 29, at The Lake of the Woods Church. A visiting time will begin at 5:30 p.m., with the service at 7 p.m. The family also will hold a memorial service in Ashland, Ohio, at Ashland Grace Brethren Church in November.
Joe is survived by his parents, Randy and Linnea Ross; two brothers, Scott Ross and Matt Ross; a sister, Heather Gross; a brother-in-law, Pete Gross; a nephew, Jon Gross; his grandparents, Don and Mary Ross; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Joe Ross Youth Mission Memorial Fund at The Lake of the Woods Church, 1 Church Lane, Locust Grove, Va. 22508.
