Hi, my name is Chad Messer and the brother of Erika Russell. Erika's husband Steven Russell passed away on January 17, 2024, and is survived by his wife and 4 children. Due to the unexpected passing they are not financially prepared to handle all of the unexpected expenses at this time. They lost their only vehicle as part of this tragedy and need to find a replacement. At this time all of her family and friends are coming together to help where we can, but the ongoing expenses are quickly adding up.

Steven was an amazing father and husband and did everything he could to provide for him and his family. Thankfully he worked for an amazing company that has really shown how amazing of a company they truly are, and the entire family is thankful for them during these hard times!

Remembering Steven Russell: A Brother, a Roofer, and a Master Storyteller with a Golden Heart

Steven Russell wasn't just a roofer; he was a builder of dreams, transforming houses into sanctuaries with his skilled hands and tireless dedication. Whether mending a leaky roof or hammering in a new shingle, he poured his heart into every project, leaving behind a testament to his craftsmanship and care.

But the true masterpiece he built wasn't made of mortar and wood; it was woven from laughter, warmth, and countless unforgettable stories. Steven was a magician of words, captivating everyone around him with tales spun from his own life, from childhood pranks to rooftop escapades. His jokes were legendary, his wit sharp, and his laughter, a cascading melody that washed away any gloom.

Above all, Steven was a brother. He was the one you called at 3 am for a flat tire, the one who could mend a broken heart with a single hug, and the one who always had your back, no matter what. His loyalty was unwavering, his kindness boundless, and his presence a beacon of comfort and security.

We lost Steven unexpectedly on January 17, 2024, leaving a void in our lives that feels impossible to fill. But his spirit lives on in the echoes of his laughter, the twinkle in his eyes as he spun a yarn, and the warmth that radiated from his golden heart.

This GoFundMe campaign is to help support his family during this difficult time. Any amount you can contribute, big or small, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the life of an amazing brother, roofer, and storyteller whose smile could brighten the darkest day, and whose love will forever be a roof over our hearts.

Please share this story with your friends and family. Every contribution helps.
