Knight, Ross Rowcliffe – passed away peacefully on December 11th,2020 at The Palliative Care Unit of Joseph Brant Hospital surrounded by loved ones.

Born March 9th, 1928 on the family farm in Exeter, Ontario.

Beloved father to David (Elaine) and Doug (Diana). Loving grandfather to Michael, Ryan, Jeffrey (Sheryl), Mitch, Tori (Dare) and great-grandfather to Kyle, Jake and Willow. Fondly remembered by his many nieces and nephews of the Pryde and Knight family. A close friend and companion to Elizabeth Baldwin for whom we owe a deep gratitude! Ross will be lovingly remembered and missed by Mary Knight (Hans) and fondly remembered by Shelagh Knight.

He will be greatly missed by so many friends, especially those who every week worked-out under the guidance of Traci Morgan and became known as Traci’s Tigers!

Ross graduated from Tri-State University, Angola, Indiana in Engineering and pursued a career in that field. His various jobs took him and the family out to Edmonton, London, and Mississauga then eventually settling in Burlington, Ontario for the next thirty years! His interests were many and included sailing, golfing, skiing, woodworking and his love of cruising around in his convertible Mustang!

The family wishes to thank the doctors, nurses and PSW’s of the Palliative Care unit at Joseph Brant Hospital for their care and compassion.  We would also like to say a special thank you to Dr. Michael Mills, Dr. Jeffrey Lang and to Julie Riddle, Social Worker for all their support and guidance during this very difficult time!

There will be no service held at this time however, a celebration of life will be planned for the Spring of 2021 in Exeter.

Rest in Peace Dad.
