He joined the Army Reserves during high school and after basic training enrolled in Boise State University. He earned his CNA certificate in 2005 and was continuing his education. During high school he discovered his love of writing and continued to do so in his spare time. He was called to active duty in early 2006 and deployed to Iraq in September. Ross loved to watch movies and play video games and his movie\/video collection was one of his prized possessions. He spent weekends fishing, hiking and skateboarding with his siblings. One of Ross\u2019 passions was snowboarding; he had a season pass to Bogus Basin every year since graduating high school. Ross was on leave from Iraq in January 2007 and he spent a week at Tamarack snowboarding with family and friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ross will be remembered for the genuine love of his family, his positive attitude, and his goofy grin which always brightened the room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"casualty-operation":[100],"casualty-tag":[106],"class_list":["post-21377","casualty","type-casualty","status-publish","hentry","casualty-operation-operation-iraqi-freedom","casualty-tag-idaho-casualty"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/idahofieldofheroes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/casualty\/21377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/idahofieldofheroes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/casualty"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/idahofieldofheroes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/casualty"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/idahofieldofheroes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/casualty\/21377\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25478,"href":"https:\/\/idahofieldofheroes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/casualty\/21377\/revisions\/25478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/idahofieldofheroes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"casualty-operation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/idahofieldofheroes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcasualty-operation&post=21377"},{"taxonomy":"casualty-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/idahofieldofheroes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcasualty-tag&post=21377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
