T.K (Thomas Kenton) Ross of Baldwin, MD passed away 11 November 2014. Born 14 April 1962 in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, T.K. moved regularly as a son of a career Army officer, living in Maryland, New Mexico, New Jersey, California, and Germany. A 1980 graduate of Robert E. Peary High School in Rockville, he relocated to Texarkana, Ark. in the mid 90's before returning to Maryland in 2012. Known for always having a guitar close at hand, T.K. was an extraordinary musician who was able to quickly master any tune and any stringed instrument by ear. An adept composer, he had just begun working on songs again after not writing since the mid 90's. T.K. played in several bands as a teenager and young adult in Maryland and continued to enjoy entertaining at any opportunity. Besides spending time with his family, his pets, and his music, he also loved studying and investing in the stock market and had a lifelong interest in physics, geology and history. T.K. is survived by his beloved family, his wife, Teri (Teresa) Lowry Ross of Baldwin, Md., his father, Chester Glen Ross, his niece, Sydney Renee Ross and her daughter, Holly Moss, and his nephew Sean Ross, all of Hot Springs, Ark. He was preceded in death by his mother, Wanda Ham Ross in August 2014, and his sister, Alison Renee Ross in December 2002. T.K. was a much loved minstrel whose kindness, intelligence, and talent never failed to touch all those around him. He will always be missed.
