Ross Ledsham

Dear Ross,
No words can express the sadness I felt when I found out we would never meet again.
I was extremely lucky to have met you and I will forever treasure the moments we spent in Dublin. You were incredibly funny, witty but above all, truly kind.
You will be missed.
Until we meet again, rest in peace.
My deepest condolences to Ross's family, partner, and friends.

Dear Roy ( and Claire), my thoughts are with you and all who loved Ross. In there fullness of time may your memories bring you healing and comfort.

Much Love

Eleanor

Ross was one of my first friends when I moved to Scotland. He was a tremendously lovely person, and extraordinary welcoming and kind. I fondly remember how his inquisitive and open-hearted nature, his pendant for witty jokes, and his steadfast convictions made any interaction with him treasurable. I am very saddened to hear about his passing. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

Ross and I graduated University in the same year in 2017, we joined O’Donnell + Tuomey around the same time and worked side by side on the V&A, Hamburg, UCD and Liverpool competitions and most recently on the Liverpool School of Architecture. During this time, I was not only fortunate enough to work with a great and talented architect, but I also made a dear friend in Ross.Ross projected a calmness, a reassuring sense that everything was all under control. Be it a puzzling Revit issue, a tricky design problem or an unrealistic deadline, no task was too overwhelming or difficult to solve. We helped each other- he had my back and I had his. Our discussions on architecture and sharing of memes, tv and movie references, and humorous observations during meetings never failed to make me smile or laugh. The long nights working on competitions and project deadlines were always made easier in his company. Ross will be sorely missed. My sympathies to Claire, Roy and his extended family.

My condolences to Claire and all of Ross's family and friends at this sad and difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest condolences to Claire and all of Ross's Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. May he rest in peace.

To Claire - Please except my sincere sympathy on Ross's sudden passing. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.

My deepest sympathies to all the Ledsham family. I met Ross at Bath University where we became good friends over our years there. I look back very fondly on my time spent with him and its with great sadness I read the news of his passing.

To the happy memories I hold dear.
Rest in peace Ross

Ross was a gentleman. He was dedicated, talented, hard-working, always good humoured even when a deadline quickly approached. He had a great eye for detail in his work and always made sure things were done right and in the correct manner. Anything that he put his hand to, was always greatly made better. From the beautiful drawings he did for the Hamburg projects to the stone detailing on the Academic Hub in Grangegorman. It was a real pleasure working him everyday. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. My deepest condolences to Claire, Roy, his sister Arran and extended family.

I'm so very sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts.

To Claire and all Ross’s family, I am so very sorry for your sudden and unexpected loss. Thinking of you all at this saddest of times. May Ross rest in peace.

My sincerest condolences to the family and Claire. May Ross rest in piece

Deepest condolences to Ross family, Claire and to all who knew Ross and loved him.
My memories of the time we worked closely together on Grangegorman project are very much treasured. I learned to rely on Ross a lot. His gentle passion for architecture and his work was trully inspiring.
Ross, thank you.

Over the last few years, I got to know Ross just well enough to know how lucky I am to have known him at all. He was a friend of rare calibre to those dear to him, and his absence will be heavy in the hearts of many.

All my love to Claire and the Ledsham family.

Our deepest condolences on the passing of Ross. Although we only met Ross a handful of times, we always found him to be warm, engaging and kind, and also to possess a wonderful sense of humour. It is a great tragedy to lose him at such an early age and I’m sure he will be missed enormously by his family, Claire and his many friends and colleagues.

Our deepest sympathies to Claire, Roy, Arran and all the Ledsham family. Ross was a talented architect who produced many wonderful drawings for the V&A East project on Stratford Waterfront. We were very fortunate to have him on the team. Our sympathies also to all his colleagues and friends at O'Donnell + Tuomey.

Ross was a true gentleman...

My love & condolences to Claire and the Ledsham family who have lost a very talented and special person.

Ross, your kindness and your brilliant sense of humour will be greatly missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have known you.

Rest easy,

My deepest condolences to Ross's family, partner, and friends, thinking of you all at this time. Although I didn't know him well, he always struck me as a gentle and genuine soul. He was always great fun to be around and had an infectious smile!
He passed far too early. Rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the Ledsham family and to Claire at this heartbreaking time. Ross will be so missed by so many people but will never be forgotten.

Rest peacefully.

I didn’t know Ross well at all but he always struck me as a very sweet guy, and any time a mutual friend mentioned him it was with fondness and appreciation. My deepest condolences and lots of love to Claire and to Ross’ family. I’m so sorry this has happened. Thinking of you all x

Ross was one of the most likeable, genuine people I've ever met. It's rare to think of anyone who I only have good memories of, but every time I think of Ross, the only thoughts that come to mind are of him smiling and happy, especially when he was around Claire. I consider it a privilege to have known him.

It's cruel beyond words that he was taken from his family, partner, and friends when he was. I can't begin to imagine what Claire and the Ledsham family are going through, and my deepest condolences to all of them.

Ross will be missed greatly. A man full of kindness in his heart, truly one of the nicest people I've ever met. I was lucky to have gotten to known Ross in the few years since he moved to Dublin.. and even luckier to call him a friend. He was a beacon of joy and craic in any occasion or time spent together. A true example of a gentleman if there was ever a guide to follow. My memories of you, I will always hold close to me, Rossyboy.
I share only in part the pain and hurt that friends are feeling for the unexpected loss of the great man. The weight of which does fill my heart with sorrow.
May he rest easy now.
For my friend Claire and to the Ledsham family I offer my deepest sympathy and condolence to you.

Much love

To spend just five minutes with Ross would brighten your day and lift your spirits. It was truly a blessing to us here that he moved to Dublin, and I am so grateful for the love he gave to his wonderful partner and our beloved friend Claire. He'll be so deeply missed, there are no words. He was and will always be cherished by everyone who knew him. My sincere condolences to the Ledsham family and Claire who have lost one of the kindest people I have ever known. x

Ross was very special to me. I met him the day after he arrived in Ireland. The night we met I believe we sank 5 bottles of wine and bonded over our shared love of music. We soon realised we had vastly more than that in common.

For the two years I lived with him he was the purest demonstration of a gentleman I ever witnessed, I never told him that because it would have been met with a swift and apt slagging, and he was very good at that.

Over the past four and a half years I was lucky enough to watch my friend excel in work, make lots of new friends, assimilate into Irish culture and most importantly, fall in love.

Ross had a manner and a way with words like nobody I’ve ever met before. I will forever be quoting him. I will miss his voice, I will miss his humour and his presence - But I truly mean when I say that I will carry my memories of him with me forever.

My deepest condolences to Roy, Arran & family as well as my dear friend Claire. I will always be here to talk about my friend should you ever feel so inclined.

Words will never be enough, so I promise that I will continue to honour your memory in every way I can, my friend, my brother. I will miss you forever.

We have lost a shining light and genuine kind soul who brought out the best in everyone and helped everyone he touched see the good things in themselves. For our beloved Claire, and for the loving family of our dear Ross, I offer my sincere condolences and the assurance that the memory of a sweet man who always did his best for everyone and the immense talent and hope he brought to an often unfair and sad world will never be forgotten. Dear Ross, you will live on forever in those who loved and appreciated you. Rest in peace, bright light.

All my love,

Janine

I cannot find the words to say how sorry I am and how much Ross will be missed.

Ross always treated everyone with such gentle kindness and had a wicked sense of humour that cheered everyone up. He was truly one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

My deepest sympathies to his family and Claire.

My deepest, deepest condolences to the Ledsham family, especially his father, sister, niece and nephew who he spoke so fondly of, his partner and my dear friend Claire who he found love with, and all those whose lives Ross touched. Ross was a charming, caring and good-natured man with a great sense of humour and a kind heart. He is smiling and laughing in all the memories I have of him, always full of chat and a pleasure to spend the night out talking to. I am lucky to have known him. You will be so missed, Ross.
