Russell attended Highland Park Sr. High School. He was involved in numerous sports, and activity clubs. He continued his education to become a Master Barber, where he provided haircuts and laughter to his clientele, which included numerous professional athletes, like his favorite Football Team, the Minnesota Vikings. He also worked at Federal Cartridge, where he had a prayer bond, with the "Band of Brothers".

Russell took great pride in his family and friends and knew how to brighten a room with his humor and personality. He was a die-hard fan of the NFL MN Vikings (he made the loses look and sound good). He was staying on that bandwagon riding it out. SKOL! Russell was loved by those who knew him. He will be truly and deeply missed by his family, friends, and every person he met.

My best friend, my Knight in Godly armor, thank you for following your heart which led you to me. Until the Lord reunites us, I will try to be strong, and let not your tremendous love for me be in vain. I will love you forever and ever! TOODLES
Thank you, Lord, for sending Russell to find me, and thank you Mom Williams for raising such a wonderful man. 
Your Loving Wife, Cresandra
