David Andrew Ross' Obituary
With our deepest sorrow, we announce that David Andrew Ross (26), our beloved son, brother, family member and friend, passed suddenly on August 9th, 2019. He is survived by his father and mother, James and Grace Ross, sister, Samantha, and Grandparents of Grace, Eleseo and Ritalina Piano. He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Maureen Mulvihill (Ross).
David loved living in Serra Mesa, the center of our great city of San Diego. Staying local he attended Angier Elementary School, Taft Middle School and Kearny High school. Playing every sport in Serra Mesa for the fun and enjoyment of the game David began his sports path starting from little league caps all the way to varsity baseball at Kearny High school. He would go on to play soccer starting from AYSO to club teams to varsity at Kearny High School once again. Just for the fun of it he even went out to play varsity football his senior year at Kearny High School. David was truly a fearsome athlete that had relentless talent and perseverance.
David worked at Vons Grocery store in Pacific Beach, Henry’s Grocery store (Sprouts) in Clairemont, Crest Beverage and part time at the WaterBar in Pacific Beach. David was dedicated and always showed a strong work ethic with each job he was given. He was continuously placed in positions that if a job needed to be done David would get it done, fast and efficient.
David had a humble heart. He didn’t have to impress anybody. He didn’t feel pressured to be perfect or see himself in competition with other people. He simply wanted to be a good friend! He was kind, genuine and well-rounded. Those around him have written – “you have impacted my life in ways you didn’t even know”, “a brother to all of us”, “no words to describe how amazing you are.” David would have liked you to spend more time with family and friends, take a walk on the beach with loved ones, and indulge in great food and great company.
We all mourn that his time was unfortunately cut short, but nothing will ever take away the joy, laughter and times we have shared with David.
Funeral Mass will be held at St Columba Catholic Church, 3327 Glencolum Dr, San Diego CA 92123 on Saturday August 24th at 10:00 am.
