Ross lost his 2 year battle with Ewings Sarcoma a type of Bone Cancer on 2nd May 2006. This Cancer
mainly affects youngsters betwwen 10 and 20 years old. He was diagnosed in March 2004 and underwent
14 sessions of Chemotherapy and 34 sessions of radiotherapy but never let it get him down. He was
treated at the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit at the Middlesex Hospital, West London. He went into
remission after treatment in January 2005, the cancer returned aggressively in November 2005 and
despite treatment passed away at home.
He was devastated when he first heard the news that he had cancer but was determined to fight it.
He was a very active teenager who lived life to the full.
He was very popular at school had loads of friends and was very sporty, he played football for his
local football club and also his school.
Ross was a big supporter of Chelsea Football club and during his treatment at the Middlesex met
Frank Lampard, on a visit. At a game afterwards Frank invitied Ross and his friends to the player`s
lounge buying them drinks and introducing them to the players, he even signed and gave Ross the
shirt he had been wearing during the match.
He fought his illness with such bravery and courage.
More than 250 mourners packed Chelmsford Crematorium and then later a private family internment at
North Weald Church.
Ross also leaves behind his dad Paul, brother Ben 14 and a sister Leanne 21.
He was a wonderful loving son who was always smiling and happy. He was always laughing and mucking
around with Ben. The house is so quite without him.
Our hearts are broken and will never mend, he has left a massive void in all our lives. He was only
here for 15 years but made such a impact on all those who knew him.
One of his friends sumed Ross up when she said `There are no words big enough to describe what Ross
ment to all of us`
Love you so much Ross think about you every second of every day, love you forever and always.
God Bless `Our Angel in Heaven`

The world's greatest kid, Ross!
Ross was an amazing influence on everybody's lifes and to this day, it's still hard to believe that he's gone and seems so unfair that it happened to such a lovely kid, especially at such a young age. Ross meant so much to so many people and was an amazing person. He faught so hard and did us all proud! There's not a day that goes by where we're not all thinking of you, remembering the good memories we all shared and as many people have said, we'll never forget ur
My wonderful son Ross
My darling Ross, I miss you so much every day gets harder, I miss your voice, laughter, touch, wicked sense of humour and your presence. The three letters I ask everyday is `WHY` you had fought it once it seems so unfair that it came back and took you from us, you were so young you had your whole life in front of you.
I love you so much Ross and I know I will meet you again one day - until that day God bless darling Ross xxxxxxxx

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But now at last you’re free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart
