He is survived by two daughters: Shelly Piro, Colorado and Shonette Patterson, Nevada; grandchildren: Shane, Shea Ann, Brady, Nevada; great-grandchildren: Kahner and Madison, Nevada; wife: Glenda Quinn and stepsons, Charles, Joe, Troy and Robert of DeKalb, Texas.

Russ was a kind and gentle man with a big heart who always had a big smile that lit up a room. He loved his family deeply and would do anything for anyone.

Russ loved life and always pursued his dreams. He loved to travel, working on his ranch loving animals and he loved his family deeply.
