Michael Kent Russell

Carol, our thoughts and prayers are with you. What you and Mike did for our family will never be forgotten. Your generosity in our time of need cannot be put into words. I still remember the Royals game that Mike took us to and of course the blueberry pancakes. If you are ever in need of anything you know how to find us.

Dear Carol

I just learned of Michael's passing yesterday. I was just stunned and so very sorry I missed his service. Somehow one thought nothing could ever happen to Michael. I extend my deepest sympathy to you, Steve and Beverly.

Love, Karen Marcus

Carol, my heart goes out to you. You and Mike were there when we needed you. The kids still remember going to a Royals game with Mike and your blueberry pancakes! Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Mike was an amazing, hard working individual and he touched my life in many positive ways. I have always reveled in the fact that I introduced him to Don Keough which produced the Kansas City Business Journal and so many others. He was "one of a kind" and will be missed by all who knew him.

Carol, We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. You are such an inspiration to us. Jan Downs and Lori Drabek at HNSA

Mike and my husband Pat Regan, spent many hours together in business and "not business".. He was a joy to be around and he helped so many young people, including my daughter Maureen..Maybe he and Pat can start up another Business Journal in heaven.
Prayers and love to the family

Praying for friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you and loving memories to help you smile again.

With Sincerest Sympathy

Mike will be missed all across the country. His "up from the bootstaps" success energized and touched thousands of people. He provided me opportunities and encouraged me to dream big. I am grateful to have known this special man.
