Help Honor Russell's Life and Cherished Memories

On September 21, 2024, Russell Melvin unexpectedly left this Earth to reunite with his wife, Jody, in Heaven. He left behind 4 children (Gaberiel, Lukas, Jonas & Chelsey), 6 grandchildren (Serenity, Damien, Emma, Liam, Vivienne & Penelope), many other family members, and his beloved best friend: his German Shepherd, Shelby.

For those who did know him as well as those who didn't, Russell was a wonderful, caring man. He would've given the shirt off his back if it meant helping those around him who needed it more. He was a family man who cherished and loved his wife, children, and grandchildren dearly, along with his absolute FAVORITE football team, the Green Bay Packers. His sense of humor was something everybody always enjoyed about him. Russell made a lot of friends during his 62 years of life and will be greatly missed by many.

With no life insurance of any kind to help cover these expenses, all expenses fall onto his children. We are asking for any and all donations to help ease this financial burden and give Russell the cremation, burial, headstone and celebration of life he wanted and deserves. Thank you for taking the time to read about our father and thank you for any and all donations you are willing and/or able to make.
