The Multnomah Neighborhood Association is deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of our beloved President, Moses Ross.

Moses was a guiding light in our community - steadfast, kind, and full of heart. His contributions shaped who we are today, and his absence will be felt deeply. As we process this loss together, we remember Moses’s spirit and the joy he brought to those around him.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Moses’s family, friends, and all who were touched by his warmth and leadership.

All are welcome to join in the honoring of Moses Ross at the celebration of life event Saturday, May 17, 2025, 4:30-6:30pm in the Multnomah Arts Center Auditorium (7688 SW Capitol HWY, Portland OR 97219).

If you have photos or memories of Moses you would like to share for the service, email rememberingmosesross@gmail.com
