Steven is the son of Joel and Joan Ross of Liberty.

Steve was an avid hunter and fisherman. His love of the sports lured him out west, and as far North as Canada. His many trophies are a testament to his enthusiasm and skill. His love of the outdoors included snowmobiling, boating and motorcycling.
The pride of life was his family; his German shepherds, Lila and Hunter; his home, and the magnificent grounds he created.
His quiet mannerism, quick-wit, sense of humor, patience, understanding and extreme generosity will be missed forever, but never forgotten. He will always be remembered as a loving son, brother, husband, father and good friend.
Funeral Services will be on Friday, June 15, 2012 at 11 a.m. at Congregation Ahavath Israel Synagogue, Liberty, NY. Burial will be in the Ahavath Israel Synagogue Cemetery on Hy-San-Na Rd, Liberty, NY.
