Some people quietly pass through life. Ross wasn't one of them.

On June 18, 2026, Glynn Ross Cornelius-known to most simply as Ross-left this world on his 42nd birthday, leaving behind a lifetime of stories, laughter, and a whole lot of people who loved him.

Ross's greatest love was his wife, Anna. Together they built a life filled with adventure, laughter, and unconditional love. His proudest accomplishments and greatest joys were his children, Braydon and Rosslyn. Whether it was cheering from the sidelines, exploring somewhere new, teaching them something, or simply spending time together, Ross was happiest when he was with his family.

Ross was the kind of person who never met a stranger. He was a devoted husband, father, son, grandson, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend. He had a gift for making people feel welcome, and somehow kids were always drawn to him. Maybe it was his playful spirit, maybe it was his endless energy, or maybe they just recognized what everyone else did-Ross was simply fun to be around.

A proud member of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, Ross carried a deep appreciation for family, community, and the natural world. He loved gardening, meticulously caring for his yard, and spending time outdoors. He was the guy who could identify a good rock on the side of the road and somehow come home with another addition to his ever-growing collection.

Ross loved music and concert experiences, live sports, football, soccer, shooting pool, and trying just about anything once. Actually, probably more than once. He was always learning, always curious, and always up for an adventure. He was incredibly competitive, and those who knew him would probably agree that he seemed good at just about everything he tried. Whether fixing a vehicle, creating artwork, mastering a new skill, or helping someone solve a problem, Ross jumped in wholeheartedly.

And speaking of helping people-if someone needed a hand, Ross was already on his way. He was often the first to show up and the last to leave. His generosity wasn't something he talked about; it was simply who he was.

Ross had expressive eyes that many people remember fondly. Their color seemed to change with his moods, and through them you could always see exactly what he was feeling. Most often, that was joy, love, mischief, or all three at once.

He started the party wherever he went. He brought people together. He made ordinary moments memorable. He wrote great love letters, according to Anna, and he never stopped finding reasons to love the people around him.

Ross was preceded in death by his father, Glynn Cornelius; his grandmother, Bessie Cornelius; his great grandparents, Martin and InaBell Krause; and aunt Wanda Clayton.

He is survived by his loving wife, Anna Cornelius; his children, Braydon and Rosslyn; his parents Ken and Connie Blizzard; his brothers, Troy Cornelius, Scott and Chad Blizzard, and Jared Strickland; his grandmother Norma Clothier; brother-in-law, Alex (Mike); sister-in-law, Carri (Tim); nieces, Sabrina (Hunter) and Jennifer; nephews, Mason and Leopold; great-nephew, Daxton; and many extended family members and friends who will carry his memory forward.

Ross lived fully, loved deeply, laughed often, and helped countless people along the way. While our hearts are broken by his absence, we are grateful for every story, every laugh, every lesson, and every moment we were lucky enough to share with him.

His life reminds us to love fiercely, help freely, stay curious, and never pass up a chance to enjoy the people around us.

A celebration of Ross's life will be held at Fitzgerald Southwood Colonial Chapel, 3612 E. 91st Street South, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74137.

In true Ross fashion, we hope those who gather will share stories, laugh loudly, and remember the incredibly cool man who made life brighter for everyone fortunate enough to know him.
