Russ was a man of music and song, his soul forever dancing to the rhythm of life. His voice echoed through the hearts of all who knew him. Whether it was a small gathering or a lively celebration, he was the life of the party, his laughter contagious and his spirit uncontainable.
Born and raised in the vibrant neighborhood of East Nashville, Russell carried the heartbeat of his roots within him. He was a proud graduate of East High School, where he made lifelong friends.
Russ embraced life with fervor. He cherished his friends and family and enjoyed recounting times spent with them. Russ enjoyed traveling with his family and visited many wonderful destinations. Russ wrote the mantra “May the Music Never End” on his name card at a recent class reunion.
