The Ross Family Fund

On Wednesday, November 30, 2022, Ryan Ross tragically and unexpectedly passed away. Ryan played such a significant role in the lives of those he loved: husband to Jill, father to Parker, Charlie, and Stevie (and Sonny), son to Camille and Robert, stepson to Mike and Simone, brother to Meredith and Robbie, uncle to Camille, Russell and Mikey, and dear friend to so many. Ryan was the love of Jill’s life, and Jill was Ryan’s, spending the past 14 years building the life they dreamed of together. Ryan’s most significant role was being a father to his three beautiful daughters, Parker (age 4) and twins Charlie and Stevie (age 1). If you were fortunate to know Ryan in recent years, you know being a father was paramount to his existence, and his love for his daughters was immeasurable. Ryan was the ultimate girl dad and a pillar in the girls' lives.

Fundraising efforts have been organized on behalf of Jill and Ryan by Natalie Stepp and Adam Parker, Ryan and Jill’s best friends since college. We created it as an outlet for the tremendous amount of love Ryan, Jill and their daughters are receiving as family and friends become aware of Ryan’s heartbreaking passing. If you would like to support the Ross family, in lieu of meals or flowers, please donate through GoFundMe as that is the best way to support the Ross family during this time. The donations will be used for Parker, Charlie, and Stevie’s childcare as Jill navigates this next chapter as sole provider for their daughters. With your assistance, our hope is to alleviate the Ross family's childcare expenses for the next year.

From Jill and Ryan's families, we thank you for your generosity, kindness, love, and support through this incredibly difficult time.

Please note, as Ryan’s memorial details are made available, they will be posted on this site (expected to be scheduled for January 2023). For any additional information, please contact Natalie Stepp or Adam Parker through this platform.
