Born in Orange, NJ, Rush spent most of his childhood in North Augusta, South Carolina, with his parents, John and Anne, and brother, Owen. He received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of South Carolina, obtained a Professional Engineer certification, and worked for Allied Signal/Honeywell as a Project Engineer.
Rush had a passion for baseball and spent many years coaching Little League. His dry humor and quick wit were unparalleled, and he was loved by many. Rush enjoyed vacationing in the Outer Banks with family, exercising, reading, and spending time with the love of his life, Brenda.
Rush is survived by his wife, Brenda of Midlothian, VA; son, David (Amanda Benzaken) of Los Angeles, CA; son, Billy (Carolyn) of Midlothian, VA; daughter, Mary Anne of Virginia Beach; and four grandchildren: Keely and Finley of Los Angeles, CA; and Hannah and Maddie of Midlothian, VA.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to Richmond Animal League.
