Born in Horwood, Newfoundland, to Alva Marie Kinden and Wilfred John Barnes, Ross passed away peacefully on Friday, May 31, 2024, at Georgetown Hospital, in his 72nd year. Beloved husband of Heather (née Murdoch), devoted father to Shawn, and loving grandfather to Makayla and Travis.

Special thank you goes out to the staff and nurses at the Georgetown Hospital Complex Transitional Care Unit for their care and compassion.
