“However, Ross was more than simply a businessman,” Mr Enstch said.

“He absolutely will be remembered for his tireless, passionate and unwavering dedication to the Cairns community, whether it was in his capacity as president of Cairns Amateurs, as a Taipans board member, as an executive of REIQ for our region, or on various community and advisory committees that he was involved with,” he said.

“I’d just like to say to Ross: rest in peace, mate. You will be very, very sorely missed, but I can guarantee you, mate, you’ll never, ever be forgotten.”.
