Russell spent twelve plus years involved in youth soccer in Grand Prairie Texas, coaching his sons' and daughter's soccer teams and was a Texas certified Referee Soccer.

Russell loved spending relaxation time at the lake on the weekends water skiing and then docked in-a-cove listening to music having a "cold one". When he was not at the lake, he loved spending time working in his yard, or watching the Dallas Cowboys, and NASCAR.

The family wishes to thank everyone who sent cards, texted, emailed and social media posts for praying and encouraging them during this most heartfelt time.
