Ross Allen Jeffers, 88, passed away peacefully in Phoenix, Arizona on August 1, 2021. Ross was born on November 4, 1932 in Hamilton, Ohio.
In April 1951, he joined the United States Marines where he served in the Korean War. Ross was a Sergeant in charge of Tank Battalion and was Honorably discharged in 1954. His grandkids loved to hear stories from his time in the Marines. Ross received several commendations, including the Good Conduct Medal.
He moved to Arizona in 1958, and became a Licensed Masonry Contractor. Ross loved to build things, and took immense pride in his work. As he would drive around anywhere in the state, he would come across a building he had built and excitedly tell his story of the job.
His truly happiest moments were spending time with family and friends. He was married to Carol for 37 years, and would have loved nothing more than to spend another 37 years with her. His favorite pastimes included sitting on his front porch at his home (that he built), and talking with anyone who crossed his path. If you were on his ‘special’ list, you got a tour of SVE in his golf cart. He loved being a Marine, McDonald’s, getting new clothes, and shaving his face. He was an honored father, brother, and grandfather and loved making FaceTime calls from his iPad to catch up on the happenings of the day.
He was preceded in death by many and survived by even more. Ross will be missed Dearly!
