  • What a fitting tribute to a special man. I have only known Ross for a few months as i was his support worker. In those short few months we laughed we cried we ate and we talked I am truly honoured to have met you Ross. You never once complained and stayed strong you loved walking on your treadmill your speech exercises and most of all chocolate!!
     
    I will dearly miss you Ross rest now my friend you deserve it. Im so glad our paths crossed always in my heart

  • Hi unfortunately I was unable to travel down for the Funeral but am so glad I was able to watch it by live stream what a thoughtful idea thankyou it was a great service. I first met Ross in person at SW christmas party but he already knew about me long story after that we unfortunately only saw each other when he visited bundaberg. Our thoughts are with you all on this tough day and can I say what great strength the girls showed Ross would have been so proud. My thoughts are with you all Tim.

  • It is so truly sad to say goodbye to someone who was so talented and so dedicated.
    The things I learnt from you will never leave me, and I hope that your passing brings comfort and relief to your beautiful family knowing that you are resting easy.
    Gone to soon. 
    What a beautiful and moving ceremony of your life, well done to everyone.

  • When Stahmann Webster first purchased the Bundaberg macadamia factory, I described Ross to a new member of the business, as a ‘dirt man’. That is to say that, in my mind, he was ‘of the land’. A farmer at heart and in truth, down to earth, honest and hard working. Committed to honouring Dean and Helen Stahmann’s legacy. For me there is no greater tribute.
     
    Unfortunately I am unable to make the gathering tomorrow, however my wife Carey’s and my thoughts will be with Carissa and the girls.

  • My heart aches for you and your family during this incredibly difficult time. I was a shocked and saddened to hear that Ross had passed away. Ross gave me the opportunity to be part of his team at RME. If it wasn't for Ross I wouldn't have had the career I now have. The lessons I learnt where not just work but also life lessons. I have so many funny stories that I still to this day share with friends and family. My biggest regret is not staying in touch. Ross will be greatly missed. Sending you all my love and strength during this difficult time. ❤️
