About #liveforross

The passing of Ross Tarp-Braasch prompted his family to start #liveforross: A Fund for Safety Awareness and Vocational Education. Everyone who knew Ross, knew of his bold spirit and love of life. Ross loved being raised on his family’s ranch, driving jeeps, trucks and dirt bikes on every available path. An adventurer from the get-go, the road less traveled became his main highway. Ross was someone who helped all those he encountered. Stories about his life have one common theme: Ross was a Fixer. He could assess and fix anything mechanical or listen to a friend for hours to mend their broken heart or spirit.

#liveforross: A Fund for Safety Awareness and Vocational Education seeks to celebrate Ross while supporting programs and messaging that promotes safety and good decisions. It also supports vocational education.
