James Darren Russell

He was brought into the world on December 31,1959 to Spencer and LaRae Russell, Jim is preceded in death by his loving mother. Survived by his Father, older sister Shelley (Gumby) Kosola, and older brother Ron (Joanne) Russell, as well as his three children Loni (Taison) Brandol, Joni Russell, Daren (Clementine K.) Russell; 7 grandchildren. And we can’t forget his dog of 14 years Bandit.

Throughout his life Jim worked for Kennecott, Cottonwood Mill & Cabinet, and finally his home away from home Craftsman Kitchens where he worked with many that considered him to be a true friend and master craftsman.

Jim was an amazing son, brother, father and grandpa. A great role model for his kids and the many people that he knew over the years. He was always there to help when the need arose, and offer advice when needed. He was truly a man that so many looked up to.

Our Father was the first to hold our hand, and we were the last to hold his.

We would like to thank Dr. Brad Trowbridge from going above and beyond and our care team at Intermountain Homecare & Hospice.
