John Daniel Peter Ross

John was born on the 14th of January 1950 and died peacefully in his sleep on the 20th of June 2025.

John was born to Douglas Daniel Ross and Kathleen Blanche Ross (McLellan) in Fernie, British Columbia. He married Dawna Mischkolz on the 11th of October 1975 in Rockglen, Saskatchewan.

John graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Saskatchewan and later achieved his Chartered Accountant designation. John started his career with Price Waterhouse in Edmonton in 1972 and later worked with small businesses and with municipal governments and then finished his career with SaskPower in Regina in 2019.

John will be remembered with love and forever missed by his wife Dawna, his daughter Jillian Ross (Brendan Copestake) and grandsons Alec and Felix, his son John Anthony Ross (Dayna Gasper) and grandson Harrison, his sisters Marieanne Atherton, Katherine Ross, and Maureen Ross, his brothers William Ross (the late Kath Stan), Douglas Ross, and Gordon Ross (Richard Cote), his sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Sharon Sinclair (William), Darald Mischkolz (Vanesa), Nichole Clancy (Dana) as well as by his many nieces and nephews.

John was an avid sportsman and lover of music. John was known as a gentle and kind man who never said no. He was always game to do anything put before him from driving scooters in Taiwan to riding elephants in Bali to traversing across canyons in South Africa to singing karaoke in New York. No renovation was too big or too small. He was a man with a big smile and a big heart who made friends and family wherever he went. His gentle spirit touched many hearts.

In loving memory, rest in peace brother, husband, father, uncle, colleague, and friend.

My Father is a Tree in a Forest of Fathers.
