Argh. I still hope he pulls through... Thanks for the update :(

"We are all at the hospital. We spoke with Dr. Nashawati at about 2:40pm.


Due to the nature of Ross's nearly non-existent lung functions, and the signs of kidney failure happening, on top of everything else...he does not believe Ross will survive. If they remove the ventilator, he said Ross would pass in 5 or 10 minutes, if that. Barring a miracle, we are left with the decision of when to let go.


I told dad about all of you being updated and sharing your love and support, so that he knows you're all with him.


Thank you all for everything you've become to my father. We know it's not over just yet...but we also know what is in front of us."

I just don't get it,why does bad $hit happen to the nice people & all the *******s just keep pluggin' away !?!?!?!?!? http://images.wikia.com/theamazingworldofgumball/images/9/9e/Scratch-head02-idea-animated-animation-smiley-emoticon-000415-large.gif

[CableDude]

I just don't get it,why does bad $hit happen to the nice people & all the *******s just keep pluggin' away !?!?!?!?!?

Have to agree with you there. :-/

[Dan]

"At 12:05pm, Ross passed away.


His kidney functions became much worse overnight, and numbers were only decent today because of maxed medications. Dad had DNR wishes, and we as a family made a decision to end his suffering. They removed the vent, and we were all bedside for the 5-10 minutes it took for him to go to a better place.


Thank you all for everything."

[RaisinCain]

That sucks. I really don't know what to say. Very sad. "If the end is so much better why don't we live forever"?- Shinedown

"Ross A. Young, 51 of Lake Twp. passed away on November 30, 2013. Ross was born in Canton, Ohio on February 25, 1962 to the late Dennis and Millie Young. He spent several years as a manager in auto parts stores, but found his true calling after some of his own health issues. He became a member of the valvereplacement.org and heartvalvepatients.org forums where he deeply touched the lives of many people, sharing information about his life and experiences. Ross supported others through their heart and health situations and also helping with computer problems. Technology became a vehicle that allowed Ross to overcome his physical limitations and show the world what a great soul he was. He is survived by his loving wife of 33 years Lynda; sons Jeremiah (Dawn) Young, Steve (Jacqueline) Young and Chris Young; 4 grandchildren; brother David and sister Ellen. Memorial service will be at 1 PM on Saturday December 14, 2013 at the Reed Funeral Home North Canton Chapel with Pastor Bob Linsz officiating. Those wishing to send condolences or leave a special message may do so at the Reed online guestbook at www.reedfuneralhome.com ."
