Russell A Graziano

It is with great sorrow we announce the unexpected passing of Russell Anthony Graziano, 52, of Columbus, Ohio on March 16, 2017. He leaves behind his wife Megan, daughters Gina 19 and Angela 17, Dakota 23, his brother Jeff and father, Angelo. He has joined his mother, Arlene and brother Gary in the nearer presence of God. He will be forever missed by all for his humor, quick wit, his passion for music and his love and devotion to his family. Russ was an avid gun enthusiast who never passed up an opportunity to go shooting and loved the outdoors. His favorite thing in the world was to play his bass guitar, and had played in bands his whole life. Those who saw him perform were never disappointed. His lasting legacy was the gift of life through organ donation. While we mourn his passing, he gave many a new lease on life. Calling hours will be Friday, March 24 from 4pm-6pm at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, 1450 E Dublin Granville Rd, Columbus, OH 43229 with a memorial service at 6pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests you make a donation to the wonderful people at Lifeline of Ohio, http://lifelineofohio.org/contribute-to-lifeline-of-ohio/, who have helped the family through this difficult process and brought comfort and solace in this tragedy.
