Obituary of Matthias D. Ross

Matthias David Ross was born an angel on February 12, 2015 to parents Nathan and Stacy Ross in Kalamazoo, MI. Matthias David is our 'gift from God' and 'beloved' by everyone who knew him. Matthias' family was blessed with time to meet him. He was held by his mommy, daddy, and grandparents, loved by his curious big brother Wyatt, prayed for by family and friends, and told repeatedly how much he was loved. Matthias will always remain his parents' precious baby and Wyatt's little brother, and they will hold him again in Heaven one day. Matthias is survived by his parents Nathan and Stacy (Sommerfeld) Ross of Hastings, MI, his brother Wyatt, his grandparents Bob and Mary Ross of Iowa City, IA, and Thomas and Christine Sommerfeld of Princeton, WI, his uncle and aunt Jess and Amanda (Ross) Lovetinsky of Iowa City, IA, his great grandpa Loy (Toad) Corwin of Carmi, IL, and many other loving family members. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial fund in Matthias' name; or to Bronson Methodist Hospital Labor and Delivery in Kalamazoo, MI, to help other families with loss, the Trappist Monks who hand-made Matthias' casket, or to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep who provided bereavement photography services. A Funeral Mass will be held at the Newman Center in Iowa City on Saturday, February 21st at 1 p.m., with graveside services following at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Iowa City.
