a.m. until funeral time Friday at St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic Church. A Mass 
of Christian burial will be at 11 a.m. Friday at the church, 

with burial in St. Francis de Sales Cemetery No. 2.

He is survived by his parents, Monica and James Mullooly; sister, Mrs. Keith 
(Leila) Miller; and grandmother, Kay Salassi.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Donald and Cherie Mullooly and 
Albert Salassi.

Filled with a competitive spirit and a giving heart, Ross enmeshed himself in 
every activity and cause in which he took part. 
As an accounting major at Nicholls State University, Ross served as a senator 
on student government, and ran on the men's cross country team, earning 
academic all-conference each year he competed. He was also a member of the 
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and served as an orientation team leader. 
Ross was a 2009 graduate of Vandebilt Catholic High School where he earned male 
athlete of the year, was a state champion swimmer, an All-State cross country 
runner, president of the Key Club and a Wendy's Heisman recipient.

As he bravely fought his own battle with cancer, Ross looked for ways to help 
others with similar struggles. This led to him founding the Ross Mullooly 
Project, a non-profit organization benefiting the Patrick Taylor Hope Lodge and 
providing a variety of supports for cancer patients and their families.

The family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and 
tremendous support from the community.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in his name may be sent to the Patrick 
Taylor Hope Lodge , St. Matthew's Episcopal School or Vandebilt Catholic High 
School.

Chauvin Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
