Russ was a swimming pool technician who longed for the big water. When he wasn’t working, he loved deep water fishing, hiking in the Smokies, and spending time at the beach or at amusements parks with Bailey and Landon, whom he loved very much and were the apple of his eye. Russ, Bailey and Landon liked to play basketball, video games, and watch movies together. He was a great cook and his children have fond memories of creating big messes in the kitchen as they made chicken and dumplings on cold nights or breakfast together on lazy Sunday mornings. He was a life-long LSU Tigers fan and a devoted New Orleans Saints fan. Russ enjoyed watching sports with his kids. He also loved animals, especially his beloved dogs, reptiles, bunny and multiple cats over the years. He loved gardening and was always interested in having unusual cactus and succulents. Russ was gregarious and had many friends who walked with him along the way, many of whom stretched all the way back to University Methodist Preschool, Walnut Hills Elementary School, McKinley Middle Magnet, Redemptorist and Lee High School. Russ was loved by many people. He and his friends loved paint ball, skate boarding and occasionally slipping out on Thursday nights to “study” at Tabby Thomas’s Blues Club. He loved dancing and dancing with Bailey and Landon. Russ and his friends enjoyed watching sports or just being there for each other as they navigated through life. Russell loved life, his family, and his friends very much, and he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
