How to find Bob Ross’ Grave
Bob Ross is one of the most influential artists of our time. If you are like me, not only did you watch the Joy of Painting, you also tried painting your own “Happy Little Trees.” Not only has Bob taught me something about art, his soft-spoken and friendly demeanor was always a welcomed addition to my home. Since Bob has meant something to me throughout the years, I decided to pay my respects to him in person. While it took me a bit to locate his resting place, I wanted it to be easier for you to find his gravesite. Hence the reason I wrote How to find Bob Ross’ Grave. Please remember that this is a working cemetery where people have laid to rest friends and loved ones. So, when you visit, always be respectful.

If you have not seen it, you will be surprised at what happens with proceeds from Bob Ross Inc that have absolutely nothing to do with the heirs of Bob Ross. The corporation owns the name and rights to everything Bob Ross. Check out the documentary; it is both interesting and sad to see what has happened to the family of such a kind man.
