Jun 22, 2026
Timothy "Tim" L. Ross died peacefully on June 22, 2026, surrounded by family. Tim was born in Anchorage, Alaska, on May 13, 1976, and was the son of the late Wayne and Barbara Ross. Tim attended Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton school through 8th grade, and then graduated from Robert Service High School in 1994. Tim graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wis., with an engineering degree in 1998. Following college, he returned to Anchorage to begin a successful career in construction management. Tim worked on dozens of construction projects around the state, including the Dalton Highway, Portage, Cooper Landing, and JBER.
Tim met his wife of 13 years, Nikki, while she was in Alaska on a work assignment in 2009. When she returned to Alaska a year after first meeting, their relationship grew and they were married June 22, 2013, in her home state of Maine. They shared the love of the outdoors and travel and had countless adventures together in Alaska as well as outside. Tim was proud to be from Alaska and loved all it had to offer, especially hunting, hiking and remote cabins. However, Tim's true love was his family. Tim's pride and joy are his three daughters: Lilly, Bella and Ava. He loved being a "girl dad" and could often be found having tea parties, playing Barbies or getting a make over. He also wanted his girls to be strong, capable and independent, and spent many hours teaching them how to achieve that.
Tim will be remembered for his fun-loving spirit, kindness and ability to fix nearly any mechanical problem. There was never an issue he wasn't willing to take on for family, a friend or a stranger. Tim cherished time spent at his cabins in Petersville and Tyone Lake, and made many lasting memories with his family and friends at both locations.
Tim is survived by his wife, Nikki; daughters, Lilly, Bella and Ava; brothers, Greg (Patty) and Brian (Tracy); sister, Amy; in-laws, Roger and Carolyn Chapman; brother-in-law, Mark; nephews, Oberon, Andrew (Sara), Matthew and Jackson; and niece, Emily.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at 1 p.m., at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, 2901 East Huffman Road in Anchorage. A reception will follow in the Miki Center at the church. Private interment will be in the Anchorage Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to a trust fund established for Lilly, Bella and Ava. Please send contributions to 3521 Amber Bay Loop, Anchorage, AK, 99515.
