Justin Michael Ross, Sr.

Justin Michael Ross Sr. (Mike), 66, passed away peacefully on March 5, 2023 after an epic 13 year battle with Alzheimers disease. Justin was born in Miami Florida on November 13, 1956. He graduated from Miami Norland Senior High and studied at Miami Dade College. Justin spent most of his life having a career in sales, primarily in the car business. Justin grew up at his family's billiards hall, which turned into a life long love of the game of pool. He enjoyed spending time outdoors including riding his bike, traveling and was a big sports fan- go Vikings! Justin was a loving father, grandfather, partner, brother, son and friend. He lived an extraordinary life and he will be missed by so many. Justin was preceded in death by his parents, Roland and Sue, and his brother Scott. He is survived by his children and their partners, Justin Jr. and Betty Ross, Ryan Ross and Shawn Partyka, Kate (Ross) and Patrick Harahan. Justin adored his grandchildren Ryder, Ziggy, Olivia, Leyton, Brooklyn, and Baker. Many thanks to the caring staff at The Sanctuary at West St. Paul. He made many friends with residents and staff during his final years. A Memorial Service will be held from 3-4pm on (no, this is not a joke) April 1st, at the Radisson Blu Mall of America 2100 Killebrew Dr. Bloomington, MN 55425. An open-house Celebration of Life will follow from 4pm-7pm at FireLake Grill within the Radisson Blu. Per Justin’s wishes, in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Alzheimer’s research.
