Ross. My heart is truly broken. You were definitely the sparkle to your own little sparkle (Rose) I will forever miss our giggles, piss takes and great memories. My bestie at family gatherings where we would giggle in the corner most of the event. The family cruise where I went single but I still managed to drag us to Ibiza get smashed and be late back for the ship and completely irritated everyone when we got back, inclusive of Rose who stayed back to watch baby Bobsie. Obviously fuming we went without her, gutted haha. What a truly amazing man. You came into my sisters life and rocked her world. You are my sisters absolute everything. The love of her life, the father to those beautiful amazing boys you shared together, her best friend, her protector, her confidence boost when she needed it most. You always put her and your boys first and I will always be eternally grateful of how you showed her your love and guidance when she needed it the most. I can't even start to comprehend life without you just now but I promise I will take care of every one you loved the best I can. I can't promise though, even with my care background I am able to teach the boys how to shave or do man stuff but we'll all try together. Grandad Phil will have to support us with that. I can show them how to be lads and keep their cool, no richter scale required for them 🤭. Ross. I'm so sorry you were taken so suddenly from our world. I'm devastated. Lots of love and proper McCormick style cuddles. Your giggle buddy. Penny Xxx💖

Where do I start Rossi. I can’t get my head around the fact I’m not going to see you again. The past week has made me realise how much we took our friendship for granted and I can’t put into words how much I am going to miss you. I have so many fond memories, from being called Bross at Co-op due to being near enough inseparable, to the many fun nights out we had, the gigs we went to, how giddy you were when you first met Rosie to when Oliver stole the show on the dance floor at my wedding. What I would give to be able to have the chance to try to understand you mumbling on after a few too many beers, or chanting about Stoke at the most inappropriate moments. I’m comforted knowing you had gotten to spend a good few weeks off over the summer with your boys who you adored and that your last weekend was spent doing what you loved most with the person you loved the most, having gone to Kasabian and out in Manchester with Rosie. You will never be forgotten. I love you mate. Rest easy x

Hi have many fun memories with Ross from the days we worked together and the nights out we had back in our young days and the hotel room we shared. I always remember after what can only be described as a heavy night out I got up early in the hotel to go for breakfast tried to wake Ross up and said we need breakfast his response was What’s wrong with you I need my sleep. Well he did sleep so much he nearly missed the bus that was arranged to take us all home. We had some good times together he never said a bad word about anyone. Rest easy mate and be proud of your legacy your love for you family’s is stronger than life.
