Ferris was married to his wife of 59 years Leslie (nee Jorgensen) on April 17, 1965. Ferris met Leslie while working in the oil patch and staying on her parent’s farm while taking board and room at her grandmother's house in the same yard. Ferris went to trade school and became a bricklayer and after their marriage they moved to Regina and remained there to raise their family. He was a very hard worker and a perfectionist at his trade. They had two daughters Nancy (Jim) and Donna (Todd). He greatly loved and enjoyed his grandchildren Micheala and Wyatt Meyer and Andrew and Rachel Morgan.

Ferris enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, boating, skidooing, playing cards and watching his grandchildren play sports. He loved to joke around and have fun with family and friends. He enjoyed going for coffee with his coffee buddies and hanging out with his friends. Ferris was always up for an adventure or to be there to lend a hand to help out his family or friends.

Ferris was predeceased by his parents Alexander and Melanie Ferris; his brothers George and Albert; his sisters Anne and Margaret; his loving in-laws Harry and Marion Jorgensen. Ferris is survived by his loving wife Leslie of 59 years; his two daughters Nancy (Jim) and Donna (Todd); grandchildren Micheala (Cody), Wyatt (Aimee), Andrew (Aubrei) and Rachel (Zane); his sisters Lila and Mary; his brother John; as well as numerous nephews and nieces.
