Born on Christmas Eve of 1952 in Baird, Texas, to Ted and Ozella Ross, he leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and generosity. Known for his endless love for Jesus, Tommy's life was a testament to his unwavering commitment to spreading kindness to those around him.
Tommy's profound love for his wife, Dayna, their daughters, and his grandchildren was at the very heart of his being. They, in return, adored him deeply. To his grandchildren, he wasn't just a grandfather; he was "Daddio" - a title that epitomized the unique, joyful, and loving relationship they shared. Their bond was special, filled with joy, laughter, and countless memories.
Never one to sit still, Tommy made sure retirement was chock-full of adventures with Dayna, turning every day into a "let's see where the road takes us" kind of day. He had a knack for turning everyday moments into life lessons, always ready with a story or a helping hand-and if you were really lucky, both. Known for his willingness to give you the shirt off his back, Tommy's legacy is one of love, laughter, and generosity. His giving spirit was evident to all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ted and Ozella Ross, and his brother, Allen Ross.
He is survived by his wife, Dayna; daughters, Taylor, Bradee, Jordan and her husband Ryan Pease; grandchildren, True, Dakota, Grayson, and Emerson; brother, Bobby Ross and wife Mary; sister, Lurlene Roch; mother-in-law, Deanna Pursley; niece, Talon and her husband Cody Bays; nephews, Randy Roch and Cale Romick; and numerous other nieces, nephews, and family members and countless close friends.
As we celebrate Tommy's life, we remember a man who was not only beloved by his family but who also left his mark on the hearts of everyone he met. In leiu of flowers, donations can be made in Tommy's name to Big Country Walk to Emmaus P.O. Box 5080, Abilene, Texas 79608.

Please keep Tom Earnest (1989) and his family in your prayer as they morn the loss of Tom's wife Cathy.
We do not have many details yet, but please keep JNHS Class of ‘89 graduate Tom Earnest and his daughters (ages 14 & 18) in your prayers. Tom’s wife, Cathy, was killed in a crash this morning (April 13th). Cathy was an experienced motorcyclist, but the other driver ran a red light. No one else was injured, but their youngest was present when it happened. I’ll share more when possible.
UPDATE: We are so very thankful for y’all and the multitude of prayers going up on behalf of Cathy Taylor Earnest’s family and all who loved her. Due to her daughters’ school/finals schedules, Cathy’s service will likely fall sometime between May 3-10 in Oklahoma City. Our love to you all and PLEASE look twice or more(!) while driving. The ripple effect/loss felt from one fatal accident is tremendous.
UPDATE:

Please continue to keep Tom, Landry, Casady, Mike, Becky Taylor Zajac & her family, my mom & our X & H, and the many, many folks who knew and loved Cathy in your prayers. It is so very appreciated.
From their oldest daughter, Landry, on the significance of the service time -
Something about my mom: 143 was her favorite number. She used it in everything. It stands for the number of letters in the words “I love you”. She loved well and she loved big.
Thanks to Crystal Stanaland for serving on the Alumni Board for many years. We appreciate your time and hard work! She deserves a much needed break!
Everyone is looking forward to working together! We can't wait to let everyone know what we have in the works for the upcoming year! With y'all's support, we can do big things! More details coming soon about the Jim Ned Alumni Scholarship being given this May!! Go! Big Red!!
