On 27th of June at 3:16am Ross lost his courageous battle to cancer at Grey Base hospital, with his wife and sister by his side.
Ross sadly leaves behind a young family, as a Daddy to Jackson (6) and Emily (4), and Husband to Tania. Cherished son of Marion and the late Snow McChesney, much loved Brother to Sean and Laura McChesney, he will be dearly a missed uncle to Tilly, Alva, and Ruby, and brother-in-law to Tanja McChesney and to the McCallum Tribe, son-in-Law to Teena and Les, and friend to so many.

At Ross’s request a private cremation will be held after the service.

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss of Ross. He was a great guy. I spent a bit of time with Ross in Greymouth and Christchurch hospital last October. He spoke of his family proudly. Gone to early. Sending love to Ross’s wife and children. X
Our deepest sympathies to Marion, Ross’s wife, children and McChesney family.
We remember Ross as a young boy who lived next door to us in Kaikoura. Very sad to have lost this hard battle. Our thoughts and prayers to his wife, kids, Marion, Sean, and Laura.
