The family lived in Albany,

She faithfully served
the Lord for all of her
adult life, she loved the
church and her church
family, helping with crafts
at Sunday School and
Vacation Bible School.

Donald
David Ross
passed early
morning
on January
24, 2016 at
his home in
Unity, OR
Dave
with his fam-
Ross
ily and wife
Bonnie at his side.
He was born in Bend,
Oregon to Merrill Field-
ing and Jesse Marie Ross
on February 12, 1943. He
was the youngest of three
children. Dave grew up in
Bend and started working
for Les Schwab in 1965
when there were only eight
stores. He transferred
to Moscow, Idaho as an
assistant manager. Over
time he was promoted to
the manager of the Ontario,
Oregon store. Before
moving to Ontario, he met
Carol Larson and they
were married.
At the time Dave began
working in Ontario, the
store was selling around
$30,000 in tires and by
the time he retired the
store was selling $300,000
in tires. He eventually
became the zone manager
and helped many men be
successful store managers.
He loved his job and was
very good at it. One of his
secret loves was flying the
Les Schwab jet to and from
his manager meetings in
Prineville. The pilot, Bob
Miller, taught Dave how to
fly and he loved it!
Dave cared about people!
He wasn’t just a boss or a
mentor, but a friend. He
touched the lives of many
people and one friend
described him as the “gold
standard” for a good per-
son. One of his bookkeep-
ers described him as the
“best boss.” Dave loved
spending time with those
he loved, always had time
to listen, and you could al-
ways count on him to give
support to everyone.
He also had a great sense
of humor! There were
countless stories of pranks
Dave and the guys played
on one another (one being
the carp in the water tank).
As a dad he was always
ready for a good joke with
his kids, not to mention his
wife! He carried humor
with him and will forever
be loved and remembered
for it by his family.
When Dave was close to
retirement another Schwab
friend was selling some
property in Unity, he ended
up purchasing the land and
never looked back. He
loved living in Unity as it
provided all the things he
loved to do, hunting, fish-
ing, and being outdoors,
Dave and Carol had
three children; Tom Ross
who works for Columbia
Helicopters in Portland,
Oregon, Amy Collins who
is raising a family in Vale,
Oregon, and Shawn Ross
who works for Les Schwab
in Ontario, OR.
Dave is survived by his
wife Bonnie, his three
children Tom (Terri), Amy
(Jesse), and Shawn (Ray-
lyn), six grandchildren;
Sierra, Ava, Cody and
Drew, Haisley and Lexie.
He is also survived by his
brother Ron Ross (Pat)
of Eugene and his sister
Merrilyn Mastrud (Harry)
of Bend, as well as three
nieces and three nephews.
He was preceded in death
by his wife Carol in 2006.
A Celebration of Life
will be held in Unity at
the Burnt River School on
March 19, 2016 at 11:00
a.m. Dinner will follow
for friends and family at
the Unity Community Hall.

memory of Donald David
