Souris, Prince Edward Island, – is gripped with sorrow following the tragic passing of Darren Ross, a cherished resident who lost his life in a devastating motor vehicle accident on Friday, October 6, 2023. Darren, 52, was a valued employee at Chapman Construction and a beloved member of the community, leaving behind a void that is impossible to fill.
The heartbreaking news was shared by his grieving partner, Melody Keefe, in a poignant social media post on Saturday, October 7. “Worst night of my life. I can’t even wrap my head around all of what I went through or what I’m even gonna do with myself. I can’t believe that I’m even saying these words,” she wrote, struggling to come to terms with the profound loss.
Born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, on August 31, 1971, Darren was the beloved son of Jeanette and the late Robert Ross. He held a special place in the hearts of his sister, brothers – Kevin Ross, Blair Ross, and Darlene Kerr – and most importantly, in the heart of his adored daughter, Maci Ross. Darren was not just a dedicated employee at Chapman Construction; he was a caring father, a loving partner, and a source of strength for those around him.
Darren’s life will be remembered and celebrated at the Ferguson Logan Montague Funeral Home, where friends and family can pay their respects during the visitation hours on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, from 2 to 4 p.m. The funeral service is scheduled to take place on Thursday, October 12, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. in the Funeral Home Chapel, with a live stream available for those unable to attend in person. Following the service, Darren will be laid to rest in the peaceful surroundings of the Lower Montague Cemetery, a place that will serve as his final resting place.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to the Lower Montague Cemetery, a testament to Darren’s connection to his community. The community is invited to share their condolences and memories online through the Ferguson Logan Montague Funeral Home website at www.fergusonlogan.com, providing a platform for friends and well-wishers to offer their support during this difficult time.
As Souris comes together to mourn the loss of Darren Ross, they remember him not just as a resident but as a son, father, partner, and friend. His presence will be deeply missed, and his memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
