David A. Ross, 46 years of age, of Vernon, CT., passed away on Thursday, May 24, 2018. Born in Manhasset, NY, he was the son of Blanche (Zaref) Ross of Vernon, CT and the late Steven L. Ross. David was a loving, sincere, and kind soul. An artist at heart, David played guitar and took great pride in his work as a graphic designer. He tried to tread lightly on the earth; always considerate of other people’s feelings and needs. One of his favorite things to do was to take a drive in his 1976 green Toyota pickup truck. David had a love of animals and adopted a number of rescue cats. In addition to his mother, David is survived by his sister, Laurie Ross and her husband, Jeff Black, of Worcester, MA. David was a ‘cool’ uncle to Zoe and Eli. The family especially wants to recognize Paul Resnick for his friendship and invaluable support to David over the years. Private funeral services have been held. Shiva will be observed Sunday, May 27th – Thursday, May 31st from 6:30-9:00 PM, with a service each night at 7:00 PM at 217 Echo Dr. in Vernon. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to North Shore Animal League America.
