Michael Anthony Russo

The son of Jerome F. Russo (deceased) and Gail Dattilo Russo, Michael was born on February 9, 1980.

In addition to his mother, Gail, Michael leaves behind his three children, Landen Russo, Kaelyn Russo, and Reeve Russo, all of Murray, Kentucky. Michael also leaves behind a brother Mark Russo, an uncle Philip Dattilo, and a cousin Donna Welch.

Michael recently moved back to Memphis from Kentucky to take care of his mother and the family home.

Michael loved spending time with his family and friends. He was a consummate comedian and was always there to make them laugh. Michael supported those close to him in good times and bad.

Michael loved riding motorcycles, working on projects around the house, and going on cruises.

The loss of Michael leaves a hole in the family's heart that will heal with time as they reflect on the good times, his humor, and love for each of them.

Michael will be cremated. A celebration of his life will be scheduled in the next several weeks. The family will communicate the dates of the gathering and invite all loved ones to come celebrate and share their memories of Michael.
