Today we celebrate the life of Ross Melvin Lochmann, 67, who left us on May 9, 2021. Born in Collinsville to Melvin Lochmann and Joyce Lochmann, they moved to the St. Louis area in 1963.

Ross served the local community for 33 years as the owner of Joe's Garage in Ellisville. His honest and welcoming nature will be missed by family and friends alike. He never met a stranger and was always there to lend a helping hand.

Ross spent the majority of his free time boating on the Mississippi River and at the Lake of the Ozarks, making small woodworking projects, eagle watching with his wife, and listening to Jethro Tull.

He is survived by his wife, Linda, of 45 years, his loving daughter Becki (Dennis), and many nieces and nephews.

Services: A Celebration of Life will be held at the Alta Shelter at Babler State Park, Wildwood, on Saturday, June 5, 2021 from 12:00 - 8:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the World Bird Sanctuary or Tenth Life Cat Rescue . A service of the SCHRADER Funeral Home and Crematory. Friends may sign the family's on-line guestbook at Schrader.com.
