Obituaries

After his 20-month encounter with sarcoma, Ross has ventured to a higher plane where sleep is not needed, sarcasm is a font, fuel is plentiful, and laughter is the most joyful nutrition. He was blessed with so many wonderful fellow travelers during his days here, but will miss his chosen co-pilot Kayla (Vertner) Goetz the most.

Ross is starting this next journey without his parents Dennis and Mary Jo, sisters Erica (Jeremy) and Brittany (Caleb), godfather Donnie Goetz, godmother Dianne (Goetz) Ruschman, goddaughter/niece Mallory Jo, nephews Tyson and Soren, his many accomplished cousins, plus countless treasured relatives, coworkers, and friends.

Since his parting gift to this place was a body donation of his amazing engine and damaged frame, there is no need for a quick visitation. This will give everyone time to gather memories and plan their travel so they can attend his celebration of life that will take place on Friday, 07/24/2026 from noon until 4:00pm at the Villa Hills Civic Club at 729 Rogers Road in Villa Hills, KY 41017.

Instead of flowers, we suggest donating to Strides for Sarcoma in honor of Ross Goetz using the Donate button on their website, https://StridesForSarcoma.com.
