Ross Jopling

It is with tremendous sadness and grief that we announce the passing of Ross Bishop Jopling on the morning of October 18, 2025 after a 12 year battle with cancer.

Ross spent the majority of his career working in management at The Side Track and the University of Alberta Bookstore where he met and made many lifelong friends, including his wife, Paige Schwartzenberger whom he married in 2011.

Ross was an animal lover extraordinaire who loved to help others in his quiet ways. Ross was a kind, caring, intelligent man and the funniest human you could ever call your friend. He will be greatly missed by all those lucky enough to call him a friend.

Ross is survived by his parents Bill and Denyse Jopling, his brother Garth Jopling and his wife Elizabeth Wolfe, and their children Sydney and Calum Jopling, his brother Tom and his wife Anne and their children Ellen and Narin Jopling. Ross is also survived by some wonderful and supportive friends Ellery Lew, Ron Sorokin, Julie Angus and Allison Jerome. Thank you all for your wonderful and unwavering support during these difficult times. Ross was a very lucky man to have had such an amazing group of friends

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Ross Jopling Memorial fund that is being set up through the Edmonton Community Foundation. This fund will be donating to the Leukaemia and Lymphoma society and Second Chance Animal Rescue on a yearly basis.
