Melvin Albert Ross
August 22, 1944 - December 10, 2016
December 10, Melvin Albert
Ross finished his race here on
earth and went home to glory.
Born and raised in Colorado,
the son of the late George and
Lucille (Bilbrey) Ross,
Melvin lived in Grand
Junction until he entered the
United States Air Force as an
air traffic controller. Upon
discharge, Melvin spent the
remainder of his years being a husband, father to three sons, and
grandfather to five grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
He was a son, brother, uncle, cousin and good friend to many.
Melvin would want to be remembered as a born-again believer
who loved God. He composed a number of gospel/worship
songs which he loved to play and sing. He attended the Wallace
Wesleyan Church and enjoyed being involved with the Men’s
Fellowship group there as well as meeting with his Bible Study
friends at the Bethel Assembly of God in Bath.
Melvin retired from the transportation department of the Bath
VA Medical Center in 2006.
He is survived by his wife, Audrey Ross; sons, Kent, Scott and
Bud Ross; grandchildren, Chris (Jenny), Nick (Megan) and Jake
Ross, Noah Martin and Allison Ross and great-granddaughter,
Haley Ross; sisters, Katherine (Glen) Roper and Linda
(Richard) Collard and brother, Raymond (Pam) Ross.
Family and friends are invited to call on Friday, December
16th from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at Fagan’s Funeral Home in
Bath where funeral services will follow at 1:00 with Pastor Bill
Spencer officiating. Burial with military honors will take place
at 2:00 p.m. at the Bath National Cemetery.
