Wendell P. Ross Sr.

Wendell P. Ross Sr., aged 66, entered his Eternal Rest on June 19, 2023. Wendell was married to Karla Jean Phifer Ross for 45 beautiful years. They have 5 children together, Wendell Jr., Aarika, Earnest (RIP), Matthew, and Raphael.

Wendell, who is most affectionately known as Poppie to his 10 Grandchildren, was an amazing and loving grandfather. He was a son, brother, uncle, father, companion, and friend to a host of people. Most important of those roles, he was a HUSBAND! He shared his life until the very end with the woman he loved most, his Huggy!

Wendell walked this earth in righteousness; it showed in every single interaction he had. He was the best truck driver in the world, and he had traveled all over the U.S. of A. by way of his second love, his Big Truck!

Wendell truly touched the lives of every soul he came in contact with, no matter how small the interaction had seemed. He was a true beacon of light in this dark world. He was a compassionate teacher to everyone, and he leaves behind a legacy that will live on throughout the ages! REST ON DRIVER January 4, 1957, to June 19, 2023.
