In Loving Memory of Ross Woodruff

Ross Woodruff, age 75, of Prior Lake, Minnesota, passed away on August 18th, 2026.

Ross wore many hats throughout his life, he was a business owner, a skilled carpenter that took pride in the work he did with his hands. His craftsmanship, patience, dedication, and ability to build and create were all meaningful parts of who he was.

Ross had a lifelong love of classic cars. He appreciated their beauty, history, and character, and could spend countless hours admiring, talking about, and enjoying the cars he loved. His passion for classic cars was just one of the things that made him uniquely Ross.

Above all, Ross was a father and grandfather who will be deeply missed by his family. He is survived by his daughter, Amanda Stang (Joe Stang); and his grandchildren, Nicholas Stang and Autumn Stang.

Ross's family will always cherish the memories they made with him, from everyday moments to the special times that will be remembered for years to come. His love of woodworking, classic cars, and just "tinkering with stuff" will remain part of the memories his family carries forward.

Ross is preceded in death by his parents, Henry Leroy "Cuff" and Maryann "Billie" Woodruff.

Ross will be remembered for the life he built, the work of his hands, his love of classic cars, and, most importantly, the place he held in the hearts of his family and friends.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

A celebration of Ross's life will be held at a later date.
