Russ was born on February 26 1949 to his parents, Charles and Illean Middleton in Wayland Michigan. Russ was preceded in death by his parents Chuck and Illean, an infant eldest brother Ralph and a younger brother Rick, who was also lost in the accident. Russ was a Vietnam veteran and an active member of the VFW. He enjoyed bowling, softball, scuba diving, boating, archery, trap shooting, traveling, motorcycling, margarita Fridays, and fun in the sun. Russ was always the first to help anyone with any project they had and could fix anything.

His family will be having a Celebration of Life with his Florida family and friends and his Michigan family and friends.

    I met Russ at the Steelcase Panel plant, when I worked in their cafeteria. He was my favorite person there, as he always had a smile and something nice to say.

    Our condolences to family and friends. May the void that is left be filled with wonderful memories.

    Russell, I will forever be grateful to you and Evelyn for opening your home to me in S.C. You helped me with my vehicle and gave me the nick name Twink because of my blinking headlight. You were always there to help out or give advice. You will will be missed by many. Rest in Peace.
