I knew Rusty many years at East Hill Baptist church. He and Beth both were So kind to our family especially to mom and dad, always looking out for them. We laughed and traded stories of events that happened over the years. Rusty will truly be missed but I know mom and dad are there welcoming him home. Beth, I and my sister’s thoughts and prayers are with You and your family today and days moving forward. We love you.

I knew Rusty when I was young, probably around 8 or 9 years old. He usually hung out with my older sisters and the other teenagers in the neighborhood. He and Dave Wheeler always used to spend time playing football or horsing around with the younger kids. Everybody loved him. He was a great guy.

Beth, honey, we are so heartbroken to learn of dear Rusty going home to our Lord. Dave recalls so many special fun adventures with Rusty and their mutual guy friends “back in the day”. I feel honored to have several of his great woodworking pieces in daily use. You two made a wonderful team and your sweet family is proof. Our prayers will continue to cover you all with healing and grace.
