Russell Paxton Obituary

1980 ~ 2016

Russell will be forever loved and remembered by his parents Kirk and Darlene Paxton; brother and sister-in-law Ryan and Rachel Paxton; niece Victoria and nephew Evan. Russell will also be missed by Grandmothers Geraldine Paxton and Wanda Eckman as well as his Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. Russell was employed as a teacher at Rundle College Elementary School in Calgary. He was well loved and respected by his Students and his Peers.

Goodbye, Russ. We always lived in different cities but our few meetings left me with strong and memorable impressions. I would have liked to know you better but now I'm doing that belatedly and vicariously, through others, as they remember you. You left a lot of stories and smiles behind.
