Ross Frederick Bass, Jr.
August 14, 1946 ? May 29, 2025

A long-time resident of Jackson, MS, Rick Bass (Ross Frederick Bass, Jr.) died peacefully surrounded by his loving family on May 29, 2025, at Atria Memory Care in Katy, Texas, where he had resided for a year and a half to be closer to family following a stroke in February 2023.

Many of Rick?s dear Jackson-area friends and extended family kept in touch with visits and phone calls since his stroke and during a recent sudden decline. Rick enjoyed the conversations with and stimulation from these loving people. To the end, his stated goal was to work with the physical therapists, return home to Jackson, and play tennis.

Throughout Rick?s recovery, his winsome personality and stoic perseverance never faded. No one who knows him would be surprised to learn that he was a favorite of the Atria staff, many of whom called him ?Dad,? taking after daughter Bonnie who regularly visited or called every day. The family wishes to thank the kind-hearted and capable staff of Atria who took such good care of Rick.

The first of three children born to Betty Jo Holcomb Bass and Ross F. Bass, M.D., Rick was born in Jackson on August 14, 1946. In his early childhood, Rick?s father?s medical training and naval duties took the young family to tiny Baldwyn, MS, where Rick learned to walk, followed by exciting New Orleans, where Rick remembered riding the St. Charles streetcar daily and learning to read with his mother in the library, and then northward to Falls Church, VA, where he started first grade and visited Washington, D.C., frequently with his parents and 2 year-old brother, Robert. Rick?s enduring interest in history began here. The Bass family finally settled back in familiar Jackson, a city Rick ever after fondly regarded as home. He received a good education and sports training in the Jackson Public Schools he attended: Power, Boyd, Bailey, and Murrah, Class of 1964. He moved through these youthful and delightful Buckley Drive years with a pack of friends from the neighborhood, with Little League baseball team
members, and football team friends. In fact, Rick made friends for life in each stage of his maturation and eagerly participated in any and all reunions.

Inherent fortitude, humor, stamina, and resilience equipped Rick both to survive and thrive after any hardships in his life. He accumulated many memories of comical situations in which he found himself. These he recounted with self-deprecating good humor to the delight of all.

At age six, Rick contracted polio. While he recuperated in quarantine, isolated in the boys' ward of a Vicksburg sanatorium for several months, he delighted in his medical father's permitted weekly visits when he brought Rick enough decks of cards, comic books, crossword puzzles, adventure and mystery magazines to share. Ever after, Rick read a variety of genres, daily solved word and math puzzles, learned to count cards, and honed his strategic thinking abilities, all of which served him well in Tournament Bridge, football, baseball, soccer, golf, tennis, pickleball, and, more profitably, in his legal profession.

Rick attended Vanderbilt for two years where he majored in pre-med until, as he said, ?I ran into organic chemistry.? He switched to a double major in English and history, accepted a baseball scholarship from Belhaven, and graduated with distinction. While a student, he worked at Person?s, a men?s clothing store, and developed a good head for both business and fashion under Mr. Person?s tutelage. He became a dapper dresser who looked made for a corner office.

After college, Rick served as an officer in the medical corps of the National Guard, an experience that funded amusing memories he liked to recount. He married fellow Belhaven graduate, Janie Shiel, in 1969, and welcomed his oldest daughter, Susan, into his life. His young family then moved to Oxford, MS, where he entered Ole Miss law school and embarked on a distinguished career.

Rick excelled in the study of law. Always admired by his peers for the keen facility of his legal mind, he became editor-in-chief of the law journal and graduated with distinction, earning his J.D. in 1973. He credited Susan and Janie for keeping him focused. As this chapter of his life closed they happily welcomed into the family a son, Rick, Ross Frederick Bass, III.

Rick then became one of the first Ole Miss law graduates to be recruited by a major out-of-state law firm. He took a position with the prominent Gambrell firm in Atlanta and passed the Georgia bar exam on his first attempt. During these formative years in Atlanta, Rick honed his well-known skills as a top commercial litigator. He devised strategies for managing complex business disputes.

The pull of home brought the family back to Jackson in 1975, in time for the happy birth of his third and youngest child, Bonnie. Rick joined the litigation section of the Watkins Ludlam firm, where he became a partner and developed a robust practice. In 1981, Rick, Bill Jones, and David Mockbee formed the highly regarded litigation boutique firm, Jones Mockbee and Bass, and it grew until it became the Jackson office of the respected New Orleans firm, Phelps Dunbar. Rick rose to be a member of the firm?s board of directors and the managing partner of the Jackson office. Only someone of superior ability and congenial disposition could occupy these positions as long as he did.

Rick lived by the adage he coined himself, "Worry more and be a better lawyer." One would never have known it judging from his unflappable demeanor under fire. Always a spirited competitor, Rick was driven to win. Ever the good sportsman, however, he never fell short of perfect civility. He always played by the rules with genuine honesty, integrity, and a sense of fairness that won the respect of clients, colleagues, judges, employees, and even defeated opposing counsel. He generously devoted time to pro bono work and to teaching trial practice to generations of younger lawyers from many states. He was a quietly spiritual and compassionate man who,
like his forebearers, strongly valued the inherent dignity of every human being.

Rick led an exciting life, full of adventures of ideas and experiences, family, friends, wit and humor, and a penchant for an Old Fashioned. He?s probably the only guy one will find who, as an 18-year-old, met Elvis on tour in Elvis?s hotel room, who as a college student played bridge with Omar Shariff as his partner, or who as a newly minted lawyer traveled to Denmark and the West Indies to litigate a peanut case.

In his family life, Rick enjoyed coaching his children?s sports teams and patiently teaching his children and their friends to water ski. Many wonderful family memories were made during the traditional summer stays at Pickwick Lake having fun and good cheer with the extended family and the other Jackson families at J.P. Coleman State Park.

Rick took great pleasure in moving closer to his three grandchildren, three children and their spouses. He championed their interests and achievements and felt that life was good. Nearly daily Rick dressed in his Ole Miss Rebel cap or shirt during his Katy, Texas, residence. A team loyalty he developed early in his life he attributed to his surviving maternal uncle, Ed Holcomb, that continues with his son Rick, cousin Bill Holcomb, son-in-law Joey Austin, and Rick?s nephew, Ross Cleveland Bass.

Rick?s beloved brother, Robert, predeceased him by fewer than three years. Rick is survived by his children, Susan Bass of Neskowin, OR; Rick Bass (Jennifer) of Loveland, CO; Bonnie Kirkland Bass Austin (Joey) of Katy, TX; grandchildren Anabelle and Max Austin, Roman Bass; sister, Elizabeth Kirkland Bass Raulston (Keith) of Townsend, TN; sister-in-law, Arlene (Arty) Bass, as well as nieces, Laura Raulston McCarthy (Matt) of Bellevue, WA; Mallory Bass (Alex) of Austin, TX; and nephew Ross Cleveland Bass of Jackson, MS. His beloved maternal uncle and aunt of Oxford, MS, Ed Holcomb and Betsy Cabaniss Holcomb survive Rick. Also, many beloved first cousins and extended family members survive Rick: Sharon Christian Whelan, George Harrison Christian, Rowland Jones Roberts (Bo), Dick Turner (Patsy), Bill Holcomb (Barbara), Jean Holcomb Shuttleworth (Todd), Jeff Harpole, Derrick Harpole and Shannon Harpole.

In keeping with his wishes, Rick?s corporeal remains will be interred in the Northminster Baptist Church Columbarium, where Rick was a charter member with his paternal grandfather, parents, brother Robert and sister Elizabeth. A celebration of Rick?s life to recall the gift of his company will occur in the fall. Memorials may be made to Northminster or to a charity of choice.

Charles David bassett
April 21, 1927 ? November 15, 2021

Charles David Bassett, 94, of Boone, Iowa passed away peacefully on Monday, November 15, 2021, at Westhaven Community in Boone, Iowa.
Chuck was born on April 21, 1927, in Colfax Township, Boone County, Iowa, the son of Orville (Stub) and Margaret Snider Bassett. He grew up on the family farm just west of Napier, attended Napier School, graduating in 1945.

Chuck had joined the Army in the fall of 1944, and after graduation, he went to Fort Hood, Temple, Texas for basic training. Ruby Brown, his high school sweetheart joined him, and the two were united in marriage on July 28, 1945. He shipped out shortly after spending his WWII service stationed at Dachau Concentration Camp, Munich, Germany, until October 1946.

Chuck returned home planning to attend Iowa State Veterinarian school, but he found the family farm in need and took up farming. He was a serious young farmer, taking farming classes, always reading, learning, how to become a better farmer. He and his brother, Fritz Bassett, farmed in partnership for 30 years, buying land and adding a cow and calf operation.

He and Ruby were the proud parents of five children, Marcia, Jackie, David, Joanie, and Sandy. All working the farm, raising cattle, and, unknowingly, learning the value of the land and the hard work it takes to keep it. They knew ?he had their backs? even when he made them take their lumps in life. Due to health issues, Chuck retired early, but he always loved his land. He was always looking for another ?40? and was a farmer at heart forever.

Warm weather helped his health issues and ?to get farther from the North Pole,? they moved to south Texas. They settled into a mobile home on Falcon Lake. It was dry high desert, but he tilled and planted a grass lawn with a sprinkler system. He planted grapefruit and tangerine trees, date palms, flowering vines, and petunia. He learned the art of stained glass, making fishing lures and sinkers. He and Ruby moved back to Iowa, building a home on the Napier blacktop, where he planted trees, mowed grass, and enjoyed life on the farm again.

Chuck and Ruby enjoyed traveling in their 5th wheel camper, driving the Alaskan Highway, a trip to Australia and New Zealand, and visiting friends and family across the country. Ruby said he would not drive past a Historical marker without stopping.

His favorite pastime was country western dancing. He and Ruby danced all their lives, planning their week on which band to attend, they made many good friends. They danced well into their late eighties, albeit a little slower, but with the same enthusiasm.

Chuck never met a stranger, always smiling, shaking their hand, and ready with his quick wit to make you welcome. He lived a full and happy life, loving and loved by his family. He and Ruby were married 74 years, giving each other a kiss, a smile, and a hard time. He has missed her immensely these last two years and was ready to swing her onto the dance floor when he said goodbye to this world.

Charles was preceded in death by his wife Ruby, a grandson, Nate Bassett, and brother, Richard Bassett at an early age.

He is survived by his children: Marcia (Dave) Hurst of Boone, IA, Jackie (Ken) Day of Springdale, AR, David Bassett of Wahkon, MN, Joanie (Le) Lubka of Ames, IA, and Sandy Bassett of Deephaven, MN; grandchildren: Zach Hurst, Sam Hurst, Tony Day, Casey Day, Christopher Day, Danielle Day Renfroe, April Jackson, Ben Bassett, Ty Bassett, Ky Bassett, Caleb Lubka, Mollie Bosman; 23 great-grandchildren; his sister, Mary Finch of Ames, and brothers Fritz (Jenny) Bassett of Boone, IA, and Doug Bassett of Ocala, FL.

His memorial service will be held at a later date. Memorials may be sent to Napier United Methodist 1595 Xenia Drive Ames, IA 50014. If you are so inclined, plant a tree, not just for him, but because he thought it was important.

April 7, 1932 ? October 15, 2025

Ella Jane Bass, known as Jane to everyone, age 93 of Boone, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at the Eastern Star Masonic Home.

Jane was born on April 7, 1932, in Boone, Iowa, to Edward and Louise (Tonsfeldt) Shell. She grew up on a farm west of Boone alongside her siblings Verdine, Iola, Mary Lou, Mahlon, Leland, Fran, Karen, and Joyce, as well as infant siblings Emma and John, who passed shortly after birth.

Jane was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church in Boone on May 22, 1932, and confirmed on April 10, 1949. She graduated from Boone High School in 1950. Jane worked at Boyd?s Dairy and then Nelson?s Lumber Yard, which later became Nelson?s Doo It Store, and then at Herrald Drug, which became Medicap Pharmacy. She enjoyed her years as a store clerk and cherished the opportunity to connect with so many in the Boone community.

On December 17, 1952, Jane married Jack Bass. Together, they raised five children in Boone: Joan, Janine, Chris, Matt, and Chad. Jane really enjoyed their annual vacations to northern Minnesota, and later, many memories were created at the family?s cabin on Palmer Lake with their children and grandchildren.

Jane loved baking and had a sweet tooth. You could always count on multiple pies or a selection of cookies when you came to visit. Her legacy of delicious treats lives on with her handwritten recipes that have been passed down to her family. She also enjoyed cooking, reading, poetry, watching Wheel of Fortune and Antiques Roadshow, and spending time with her grandchildren.

Jane is survived by her children, Joan Faust, Janine (Ben) Bennett, Chris Bass, Matt Bass, and Chad (Jill) Bass; her grandchildren, Mike (Alison) Faust, Megan (Matt) Rigg, Kelli (Justus) Harris, Sam Bass, and Wendy Bass; and her great-grandchildren, Will and Max Faust, Forrest Rigg, and Liv and Leo Harris.

Lloyd Hugh Bass III
October 2, 1978 ? January 8, 2026
Pine Grove, Louisiana

Lloyd Hugh ?Bo? Bass, III, gained his eternal rest on January 8, 2026, at the age of 47. Born October 2, 1978, Bo lived a life marked by service, devotion, and quiet strength.
Bo was the beloved son of Lloyd H. Bass, Jr. and Rebecca Bass Reeves, and stepson of Jeffrey G. Reeves. He was a loving brother to Anna Bass Holland (Lane) and Christopher Cole Bass (Hailey). He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Lloyd Bass, Sr. and Mary Bell Bass, Reginald A. Robinson and Sarah H. Robinson, and his brother, Market Emery Bass.

Bo was the devoted husband of Rose G. Bass and a proud, loving father to Lloyd ?Cy? Bass, IV; Mya Bass; Matthew Bass; Layla Bass; Dylan Sandifer; Brittany Saiyan; and Jeremy Bertrand. He was also a loved Paw Paw to his grandchildren. His life centered around his family, and he lived each day in service to them, providing love, guidance, and unwavering support.
A gentle giver with a humble spirit, Bo was known for his kindness and willingness to help others. He grew up with a deep love for baseball and excelled as a pitcher for Walker High School, the Home Run Palace baseball team, and later at the collegiate level. Beyond the field, he loved the outdoors and found peace in the little things in life.

Professionally, Bo worked for more than 20 years as a Master Classman Water Restoration Specialist in the environmental industry, a career that reflected his strong work ethic and commitment to doing difficult work with care and dedication. He often worked extra jobs to provide the best life he could for his family. He was a mechanic and fixer, he'd take the old broken down things and give them life again.
Humbly, Bo loved the Lord. His faith sustained him through the hardest seasons of his life and was a steady source of hope, strength, and peace. We hope his quiet trust in God will leave a lasting example for all who knew him.

Bo?s life, though difficult, was a testimony of love, perseverance, humility, and faith. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by those who were blessed to know him.
?Well done, good and faithful servant.?
? Matthew 25:21.

Aged Man Injured

Oliver Bassett, aged eighty years, of Marion township, experienced a rather severe hardship for a man of his age on Monday. He was assisting in hauling in some corn from the field and was riding on the wagon with one of the hands. When they approached the gate he jumped from the wagon and opened the gate. After the wagon had passed through and he had closed the gate, he shouted to the driver to go ahead. Like he had always done in younger years, he started to jump on the side of the wagon and slipping fell under the wheels which passed over his left lower limb from the hip to near his ankle without breaking his leg or injuring him other than to cut a gash some six inches in length on his ?shin?. Dr. J. B. Stewart attended his injuries and he will probably not suffer any serious effects.

These old pioneers reared a large family, five of whom are still living. They are Mrs. N.J. Bowman, of Anderson, Ind.; John R. of Van Buren township; James K. and Marshall, of Marion township, and Mrs. L.B. Carrithers, of this city. It has been the custom of this family to gather around the parental board each New Year?s day and help the old folks remember the event of 1849. Each year is looked forward to by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren as the one day of the year ? a home coming. Last Saturday was no exception to the event as on that day all of them to the number of fifty gathered at the old homestead two and one-half miles north of this city to wish each a Happy New Year, talk of the events of the year, and to enjoy the feast they knew was sure to await them. Just before the happy gathering separated to their homes and as a fitting finish to the joyous day, Mrs. Bassett presented each of her children a check for $114, at the same time wishing them all a Prosperous and Happy New York. May Mrs. Bassett see many, many returns of this annual gathering.
