I am so sorry for your loss.
To Kimberly, Shane, Jackson and all of Russell’s family, I send my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. The news of his passing hit me hard. I am still reeling from it. He and I became fast friends when we met as kids and rode our minibikes together. We had a lot of fun doing all kinds of things on them, exploring the woods, shooting guns, playing with fireworks and all manner of boyish pursuits. I am so glad I got to see him at my parents’ house in Fort Madison one more time some years back when you were in town. And I am grateful that he and I were able to reconnect once the internet made it possible. I am devastated from this loss, and you all have been on my mind since I learned of it.
My thoughts will be with you always, and you have my enduring sympathy. He will be missed greatly. I will always have great memories of our friendship and the good times we had.
My heartedly prayers are being lifted daily for you! I know how shocked you all most feel!
Russell was an incredible person always full of Love and Light! Darryl and I often said we wished we had spent more time with you guys over the years! Russell reached out after Darryl passed away and wanted me to come see your guys and see your place in Jasper! I regret that not happening !! He was so proud of you and Jackson and this accomplishment!!
Shane I’m here if you need to talk!
Much love and Hugs and prayers !!

Dear Shane,
Ive been praying for all of you since receiving phone call from Charlotte. This was the most shocking and devastating news. I was sure when I received your text you were organizing a surprise “60” birthday party. As others have stated I’d been planning on calling and visiting since I retired. Sorry I put it off.
On to good memories ❤️ I’ll never forget when I first met Russell, guess he felt that was more professional sounding than Jackie. He’d come back asking for business every week. Finally he wore me down. He would bring donuts, lunches for my staff, flirt with the techs. They all loved him. Plus he was so funny and green in the medical field. We really had some good times and laughs together. I remember how crazy in love he was with Shane and talked about wanting to ask her to marry him. He didn’t have 2 nickels to rub together. Then you guys got married worked hard together building Paces. Then the surprise call Jackson ❤️ He sure loved his guy/son. I could go on an on.. My love and prayers to Charlotte and Don too..
Dear Charlotte, Don, Shane, Jackson,
I’m sending prayers and love to you, and want you to know that I have such wonderful memories of Russell over the years.
He was a darling, lovable and warm man, who I so enjoyed spending time with when he visited LWR.
We all share in your loss…………
Wrapping my arms around you all.

Shane and Jackson Words can describe how sorry we are for your loss. We feel privileged to have known Russell he was always a soft spoken and kind individual and when we bumped into each other he took time to catch up on our family’s updates. Big hugs to all.

Dear Charlotte and Don,
I have no words for y’all that will help your aching hearts. All I know is he was a wonderful young man and that he loved you both dearly. I’m thankful I got to know him and be friends with him. I hate that I let life get in the way and didn’t make more of an effort to stay in closer contact with Russell and his family. Please know that I’m praying for all of you.
All my love and condolences. ????????
Dear Charlotte, Don, Shane and Jackson,

Dear Shane and Jackson,
We are all so saddened by your loss. We will truly miss Jackie’s positive, humble and fun nature. Nearly every conversation we can recall with him over the last several years involved him speaking of his sweet wife and amazing son. Shane, he adored you and Jackson, words cannot describe how much your father loved you and how proud of you he was. Our deepest sympathy to you both.
