He always called beach “heaven”. In ninth grade, his family moved to St. Helens, Oregon where in high school he played football, was in his school choir, and was on a dance team. He later moved to the Tri-Cities area in Washington state and from there he joined the US Marine Corps and served a brief time before he was honorably discharged. He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints beginning in Massachusetts, Boston and ending in California, San Bernardino. After his mission, Russ met the love of his life, and married Chantal Palmer on July 16, 1983 in Pasco, Washington.  Their marriage was sealed for eternity a year later in the Seattle, Washington Temple. Before he became disabled, Russ worked many years as a baker.

Russ loved music, sports, Nascar, creating and enjoying art, going to the movies, cooking and reading.  He really enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.
