Ross Falcon Smith

Mr. Ross Falcon Smith, age 53, of Flowery Branch, Georgia, passed away on Wednesday, April 16, 2025.

A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, April 23 at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel of Memorial Park South Funeral Home. Interment will follow at Memorial Park South Cemetery. The family will receive friends for visitation from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.

Ross was born on March 29, 1972, in King’s Lynn, England, to Ian John Smith and Jessica Olivia Smith. He is survived by his beloved wife, Adriana Smith, and their son, Alexander. He was a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished brother to Carl, Jan, and Zoë. He was also a beloved uncle to Isa, Latifa, Luc, Aisha, Kendall, Abdalqadir, Rayanne, Nur, Noah, and Willow.

Ross served as Director of Operational Risk at Mars Incorporated, following a distinguished 32-year career with Mars. He began his professional journey in the UK and later moved to the United States, where he and Adriana built their life together. Ross earned a well-deserved reputation as a steady, trustworthy, and principled leader—respected and admired by colleagues and mentees around the world.

Outside of work, Ross was a man of many passions. He loved cooking and spent countless joyful hours building cars and Legos with his son. He was an avid collector of reel-to-reel tape recorders and synthesizers and had just started to learn skateboarding as his next adventure. Known for his honesty, wit, and generous spirit, Ross inspired those around him to believe in themselves—always encouraging, always humble.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Aisla Sofia Falcon Smith, and his father, Ian John Smith.

Ross will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
