He will be sadly missed by his best friend and spouse, Dee-Anne Trealout. Cherished father to Leon Stiers, Sandra Charbonneau (Roger) and Jeff Stiers (Josie). Dear step-dad to Steven Yankopulos, Michael Yankopulos and Todd Trealout. Proud grandfather and papa to Joshua, Jadyn, Jocelyn, Amber, Mary, Tanya and step grandchildren Christine and Tanya. Great grandfather to Olivia. Russ will be dearly missed by his siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins and many longtime friends.
Russ loved his western movies, he would let them run on repeat. He had a love for animals, especially his dogs. He enjoyed swimming, restoring automotive vehicles and was a true blue-collar man. Russ had a loving relationship with his longtime best friend and made sure his Dee was cared for until his very last moments. His unique sense of humor will leave a lasting impression on all who knew and loved him.
