In Loving Memory of Harry "Keith" Ross, Nov. 17, 1930-Feb. 26, 2024. 

Harry "Keith" Ross, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, peacefully departed this world on Feb. 26, 2024, in Polson. Keith was a beacon of light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Born Nov. 17, 1930, Keith was the cherished son of Leonard and Rose Ross. He was a proud graduate of Polson High School where he formed lifelong friendships that enriched his life.

Keith proudly served his country as a member of the United States Navy from 1950-1953, bravely defending freedom during the Korean War. His service was a testament to his courage, honor and commitment to protecting the values we hold dear. After his honorable discharge from the Navy, Keith returned home to Polson, where he continued to make a positive impact on the lives of those around him.

Keith had a zest for life and enjoyed many hobbies, including fishing, golfing and bowling. His love for the outdoors and sports brought him joy and relaxation, and he cherished every moment creating lasting memories with them.

Keith is survived by his loving wife, Vivian, and his daughters, Lori (Dave) Neptune and Debi (Greg) Knutson. He is also survived by his stepdaughters, Charlene (Randy) Avery, Lyn (Ron) Fricker, and Tammy (Randy) Kelley, along with numerous grandchildren. Keith's devotion to his family was unwavering and his love for them knew no bounds.

Keith was preceded in death by his first wife, Patricia "Patsy," brothers James, Robert, Donald and Kenny, sister Betty, as well as his stepdaughters, Darlene Hoerner and Cindy Vert. Though they are no longer with us, their memories will forever be cherished.

A celebration of Keith's life will be held March 9, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at the Immaculate Conception Church with Father Bob Brooks officiating. All who knew and loved him are invited to join us in honoring his memory.

Keith's legacy of love, kindness and compassion will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know him. Though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit will live on in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.

May he rest in peace, surrounded by the love of those who hold him dear.
