Ross Bogue Obituary
Ross Bogue, age 66, of Barrington, IL passed away peacefully on September 13, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.
Born in South Bend, IN, Ross was the cherished son of Robert and Eleanor Bogue. After graduating from Clay High School and Indiana University Bloomington, he built a successful career in telecommunications, founding Communications Concepts Midwest in Chicago. Later, he enjoyed working in and investing in real estate, where he valued the relationships he built just as much as the business itself.
Ross will be remembered for his fun-loving spirit and the deep care he showed to everyone around him. He treasured time with family and friends. Ross never met a stranger-he had a way of making everyone feel welcome and included. He found joy in cheering on the Hoosiers, spending time on the water boating, fishing, biking, playing bags and bingo and being surrounded by his animals. This year, he and Maggie celebrated 25 wonderful years of marriage. More than anything, Ross adored being a husband, a proud dad to Tera, Grace, and Emily, and a loving grandpa to Sloane and Miles.
Ross loved his siblings Marj, Rob, Rodney, and Ralph and had a special gift for keeping his large family close. He hosted Zoom calls with cousins across the country making sure distance never stood in the way of connection.
Ross was a passionate member of the Presbyterian Church of Barrington and loved the welcoming church community there. He held leadership positions, hosted men's fellowship meetings around the fire, served as a Stephen Minister and founded the annual 5k run in Barrington Hills supporting several charities.
Visitation will be held on Friday, September 19th, from 4pm - 8pm at Davenport Family Funeral Home and Crematory, 941 S. Old Rand Road, Lake Zurich, IL 60047.
Church service will be held on Saturday, September 20th, at 11am at Presbyterian Church of Barrington, 6 Brinker Road, Barrington, IL 60010.
Donations may be made to the Presbyterian Church of Barrington in support of the Fish Food Pantry in Carpentersville, a cause especially meaningful to Ross and one of the main beneficiaries of his Run the Hills 5K race.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the ER and ICU nurses and doctors of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital.
Ross will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

To the family of Ross, I hope this reaches his Bride and children. Ross and I met at Clay High school in my Junior year, I transferred from St. Joseph high school
I was in the class of 76 and Ross and met in the hallway at change of classes! We hit it off immediately and both of had a sense of connection! Ross, invited me to his family horse farm off Day Road, we road horses there many times, he saved me from hitting my head on a big tree limb, we both laughed historically! I remember his all American laugh and Smile, his genuine demeanor, I liked Ross
And always felt his passion for Life, we fell out of touch, but I always continued to think about him and hoped he had a wonderful life! When I read of his passing, I was deeply saddened, but very happy that he had an enriched life surrounded by a wonderful family! God love Ross and his family! Michael Jonik

In celebration of Rossco's life Rick shared the bittersweet news with me. As I sit in reflection, I am grateful for the memories we created together in Schaumburg. Those carefree days and moments of joy will forever be etched in my heart. . My love, support and prayers go out to your wife Maggie and your daughter Tera who was so young when I met her. Also, love sent to Grace and Emily. I find comfort in my faith, and I am reassured that my recently departed mother will welcome Rossco with open arms. Rest in peace, dear Ross. May your legacy inspire us to live life to the fullest until we meet again.
