Ross Winston Singletary

June 17, 1997 – August 21, 2025

Ross Winston (28) was born June 17, 1997, to parents Mark and Connie Singletary in Portsmouth, Virginia. Ross’s family moved to Colleyville, Texas when he was about three years old, and Texas was home. He went home to be with the Lord after a years-long battle with depression and addiction.

He was a lovable child with such a sweet personality. He was a joy to his parents and sister as well as to his extended family. He was a gentle soul. He had a contagious laugh and a grin that would light up the room. He could be quite the prankster and loved to laugh and to make others laugh.

For Ross, his sister, Justine, was his best friend. They spent countless hours playing together as children. They shared a love of joking and often you would hear the sound of mischievous laughter when they were together. He admired her and loved her more than words can say.

Throughout his life, Ross loved to be outdoors and wanted to be in nature anytime he could. As a child, he was always catching bugs and other critters, another love he shared with Justine, and more often than not, you could find him outside climbing trees. He loved taking walks in the various parks here in Texas, especially River Legacy. But truly, he loved hiking the mountains of Colorado and New Mexico where some of their most cherished family memories were made. Ross thrived in nature.

He was blessed with so many talents from God. He was extremely artistic and had real talent for painting intricate figurines. He received acknowledgment for his talent with numerous awards at many figure shows. He would spend hours painting the tiniest details for the most life-like features. The constant “tink, tink, tink” could be heard as he cleaned his brush on the glass water jar. He painted other things as well. One of his most loved paintings was of the family dog, Kami.

Ross found joy in trying new activities and figuring out the mechanics of them through hours of trial and error. Two of his favorite things were flying drones and skateboarding. Seeing him in his element was mesmerizing. He spent many hours skating and flying while his mom, Connie, loved to sit and watch. His dad, Mark, even kept the pool in the back yard drained for a short time so Ross could have his own “skate park.”

Ross had an eye for art behind the lens of his camera and took amazing photos. He could capture things in nature and really bring them to life. His wall in his bedroom was covered with his photographs at one time.

The most important decision Ross ever made was at nine years of age when he asked Christ to be his personal Lord and Savior.

Ross was preceded in death by his grandparents, Herman and Veronica Welter and Bert Singletary, uncles Gary Welter, Alan Welter, and Steve Singletary, and cousin Alan Turnis. He is survived by his parents, Mark and Connie Singletary of Colleyville; his sister, Justine Singletary of Austin; his grandmother, Linda Singletary of Colleyville; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He is also survived by his girlfriend, Morgan May.
