Lavern Ross Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

"that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him." John 3:15-16 Lavern Ross Jr. of Frost, Texas departed from this life Saturday, December 26, 2020. One day short of his 62nd birthday. Everyone knew him as “Buster.” He heeded the call of the Master after battling cancer. He is preceded in death by his parents Lavern and Leola Ross and a brother, Delbert Ross. He leaves to mourn his sisters Rose Pippin (Frost, TX), Dorothy Mayberry (Larry of Italy, TX), Jimmie Ross (Frost, TX), Robert Ross (Vicki of Frost, TX), and Raylen Ross (Mattie of Corsicana, TX) as well as host of nieces, nephews, uncle, aunts, and friends. He will be missed. He grew up in Frost and attended and graduated in 1977. He was gainfully employed many years- from farm work to factory and odd jobs in between. He was a hands-on person who never complained and dutifully worked to complete the task he was asked of him. Lavern was a simple soul; he did not need fancy words or put-on airs and never cared about keeping up the Jones. His simplicity was his halo, he would say, when life becomes to complex it takes away from life’s true meaning and our genuine need of God. Life sometimes appeared to rob him of opportunities and blessings, but Lavern would say no. Regardless of his circumstances he would say “I’m covered in the Blood of the Lamb, despite my messes and shortcomings, Jesus Christ has me covered and it makes all the difference.” What a blessing to know when Jesus has us covered; we are truly covered.
