Tributes
Leave a tributeI am profoundly saddened by his death. I just didn't see this coming. The only comfort I find is in knowing he was with family and that his beloved cat Pepper will be taken care of. Russ loved that cat so much and I know he is looking down from Heaven and grateful Pepper is safe and sound.
I never thought a liberal Democrat and a conservative Republican could be friends, but there you have it! Lol. Russ is the first friend I made in Phoenix and one of the finest people I've ever known. I am honored to have been able to call him my friend and grateful that he was part of my life. His death will be felt by many. I know he's with God now and it's the one thing that brings me peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. You will be forever missed.
R.I.P. my friend.

Memories
Russ, one of the recent memories I have of you is the time we had gone to Dairy Queen for the ice cream cone. We both admitted that we hadn’t been to Dairy Queen for an ice cream cone in many years. In fact we couldn’t remember when the last time we went for ice cream cone was. I’ll always remember your smile and your encouraging words. You were always there for me brother, and heavens going to be a better place with you there. Until we meet again.
Russell
Russell loved a good pot of beans and homemade biscuits. He loved being an Uncle and especially a great uncle. Russell loved the Lord with a deep passion. Russell would literally give you the shirt off his back then ask if you needed anything else. He loved to laugh. What a gift my brother gave me when he moved here to Portland. I will cherish every memory. I already miss the mess he would make when making coffee. He never knew he left a mess and I didn't tell him. Lol. I miss him calling for his cat every night to come home. Simply said, I will miss my brother and all the plans we made. We signed the lease last week and now I am on this journey with out him. I can see Russell dancing at the Lord's feet and out singing all the Angel's. Russell, thank you for all the love and encouragement you gave me and thank you for bringing the family together. Your already missed.
