Tyrone Ross was born to the late Willie M. Ross and Lillian A. Jones Ross on July

5, 1957. He departed this world to join his wife, Veronica E. Ross, in eternal bliss

on February 26, 2020.

Tyrone was affectionately known as Poppa to his Grandchildren, Uncle Bubba to

his nieces and nephews, and Ty to his friends and other family members.

Tyrone was born, raised and educated in the Dorchester County School system; he

graduated from High school in 1975. Shortly after graduating from high school

Tyrone Joined the U.S. Army and served his country for four years from November

1975 to November 1979.

While visiting his older brother Eugene and his family, in Baltimore he met and

fell in love with his wife Veronica E. Ross. They were married in December 1980

(or should I say renewed their vows in front of family and friends) they were

married for 38 years; until she departed this world in November 2016.

Tyrone and Veronica moved to Tacoma, Washington in 1987; to start a new life

on the west coast where they raised their daughter Renee Curry. They lived in

Washington for 26 years before they longed to be home; returning to Baltimore

MD in June 2013.

While living in Washington Tyrone was employed with Pierce Transit for 18 years

as a bus driver. He was also an active member of Amalgamated Transit Union

where he held many titles including VP of the A.T.U. local 758.

Tyrone loved Fishing and crabbing but, most of all cooking and baking; he adored

Barbequing and would strike up the grill at any moment no matter what the

temperature was outside. To know him was to love him, he was a very funny

person to himself; you did not always get the joke. He was only stern because he

cared, and he wanted everyone to do better and to be better. He will be greatly

missed!

Tyrone was preceded in death by his wife of 38 years, Veronica Ross, his father-

in-law and mother -in- law Harvey Blanchard and Mary E. Blanchard and two

brothers Eugene Fooks and Allen Fooks.

Tyrone leaves to cherish his memory, two daughters Tyvonnia Braxton, Renee

Curry, one son -in - law Staff Sergeant William Bungard, three granddaughters

Nevaeh Curry, Amarra Bungard, and Elise Bungard, three brothers Arthur Jones,

James Fooks, and Edward Fooks (Hillary). Also, he leaves a host of Nieces,

Nephews, Cousins, and other relatives and many friends. The Family would like

to give a Special Thanks to Ms. Georgetta Thomas.
