William James Ross, Jr.

William James Ross Jr. affectionally known (Jun-Jun) departed

this life Saturday, March 28, 2026. He was born in Hartford,

Connecticut on May 9, 1960 to William James Ross Sr. and

Mildred Turner Ross who both have predeceased him.

William, (Jun-Jun) was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan who loved his

family and also knew that he was loved. He knew that he could

count on his family at any time. His oldest brother James said

when he called with what he wanted done, he expected it to be

done and right away too. That’s because he was the baby boy and

he knew he had it like that. Brother Don said he was very helpful

and always helped when it came to fixing things. Most

importantly, his sister Shelly says that her youngest brother knew

the Word of God. He would often finish quoting scripture before

preachers could get the words off their tongues.

Jun-Jun was predeceased by his parents William James Ross, Sr.

and Mildred Turner Ross; and a sister, Lois Ann Ross. William

will be sorely missed by his five sisters, Mamie Dash, Shelly

Pelzer, Winnie Ross, Denise Ross Jones (James) and Bernice

Johnson; three brothers, James Ross, Donald Ross (Candace) and

Frederick Ross along with a host of nieces and nephews;

supportive friend, ex-wife Georgia Green Ross and step-son

Nathan; friends Darryl Howard, Sam Bailey and Darren

Hightower. William James Ross Jr., (Jun-Jun) will be greatly

missed by all of his loved ones.
