Ross Chesley Bennett, 83, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Apr 23, 2024, at McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden, Utah. He was born Aug 22, 1940, in Brigham City and was a 50-year resident of Roy.

Born and raised in Brigham City, Ross graduated from Box Elder High School. He enjoyed working with his hands, working most of his life in the field of construction, becoming a General Contractor before retiring. In his younger years, he was an avid photographer and talented sketch artist. Ross was an outdoorsman who loved camping, hunting, fly fishing and was a skilled ax thrower. He also made delicious strawberry jam. He loved his mountain property and all the joy and fond memories it brought him and others.

Ross married long time love, Jenann, in 1998 spending many happy and fulfilling years. Together they hosted an annual family reunion for nearly 30 years.
