With deep sorrow and abiding respect, we honor the life of Ross Singletary, a cherished resident of Atlanta, Georgia, whose passing has left family, friends, and community with hearts full of grief and memories full of gratitude. In the quiet that follows such a loss, we give thanks for who Ross was—a man of integrity, generosity, and steady kindness whose influence reached across neighborhoods, workplaces, and dinner tables throughout the city he loved.

Ross was Atlanta in the best ways. He believed in the promise of this city—the hustle and the hospitality, the history and the hope. He understood that community is built in the small moments: checking on a neighbor, mentoring someone coming up behind you, showing up for the block party, and speaking up when it mattered. Whether you knew him from church, from work, from Saturdays at the park, or from late nights when the music was right and the conversation was better, you knew the same Ross: loyal, thoughtful, and quick to put others first.

To his family, Ross was a devoted son, brother, partner, and father whose love was expressed in the everyday. He was there for the milestones and the Mondays—the school projects, the drives to practice, the Sunday dinners that ran long because nobody wanted to leave the table. He taught that a man’s word is his bond, that listening is a form of love, and that strength often looks like patience. He showed that providing isn’t just financial—it’s emotional, spiritual, and consistent. The values he lived—faith, accountability, and compassion—will continue in the family he poured into and the home he helped build.

Friends and colleagues knew Ross as the one you could count on. He had a gift for making people feel seen. He celebrated your wins like they were his own and stood with you when the news wasn’t good. He loved Atlanta’s seasons—the dogwoods blooming in spring, summer nights when the city buzzed, fall tailgates that felt like reunions, and winter mornings when the skyline was quiet. He believed in supporting local, in giving back, and in leaving a room better than he found it.

Atlanta feels his absence in real places: the pews where he sat, the businesses he supported, the sidelines where he cheered, the porches where his laugh was part of the evening. Yet the measure of a life is not only its length, but the love it leaves behind. By that measure, Ross’s life was full. His impact continues in the people he mentored, the friends he encouraged, and the standard of decency he set for all of us.

To the Singletary family and everyone mourning him, we offer our deepest condolences. May you find comfort in the community Ross loved, in the stories that keep his voice near, and in the faith that carried him and can carry you now. Grief is love with nowhere to go—so let it go toward one another, toward remembrance, toward the good he would want us to keep doing.

Rest peacefully, Ross. Thank you for the time, the integrity, and the light you gave Atlanta. You will be missed every day and remembered with love, always.

*Services will be held with family and friends in Atlanta. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes shared memories of Ross and support for local youth, education, and community programs that reflect his generous spirit.*
