Russell Andrew Joyce

To Russells family and friends, This is Greg James a friend of Russels. We spent may weekends together in Oregon and in San Francisco where we met way back in the 90's I remember I took him flying in a Helicopter over the volcano near Portland. We has some lovely times together and he became a good friend. I was so saddened to hear he passed in 2009. I think I went searching for him in or around 2015. I wanted so desperately for him to know that I married my Brazilian partner and we had two...

My heart still hurts when I think of what this world lost with Russell's passing; such a kind, loving soul. We had lost touch following our time together at Gonzaga, and when I searched for him I found this news. He will always hold a special place in my heart. I had the privilege of making many memories with him, sharing wine underneath the stars, spending a New Year's holiday with him and his lovely family, and seeing the Ocean for the first time. Yellow roses always make me think of him...

Missing Russell very much. God took him far too early. I would welcome hearing from his room mate Pastor or any of the family. Greg x 570-807-4141

I am gutted to hear my dear friend Russell has passed and too many years ago. I dated Russell when I live in San Francisco backloads in 1993. Visited him in Oregon and took him flying over the volcano there in Portland. We became good friends and used to touch base quite regularly. I moved back to the UK, married my Brazilian partner and now have 2 lovely children. News of which I wanted to share with him. I went searching and found his Obituary which has left an very empty spot in my soul....

Dear Joyce Family-
I am sorry to hear the loss of your son, Russ. He was a great friend and classmate in high school. We lost contact as we went away to college and as our careers took off, but I always cherished the times we did have together in high school. He was a true friend, always laughing and genuinely caring. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family.

Dear Mike and Cherie -

I just recently learned of your loss and wanted to convey my condolences. I am very sorry to hear about Russell and will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the honor of working with Russ several years ago at OHSU. I LOVED giving him crap about his green contacts....I was so shocked that he would want to cover those beautiful blue eyes! Russ was a safe person to come out to, a wonderful resource for all things nursing, and very fun to make fun of and be made fun of with. Russ I never told you this because I thought it would go to your head: I think you're awesome! I miss you much.

I too experienced the joy of having Russ in my work life. I was blessed to work with him while he was attending nursing school and working at OHSU. He was always a quiet and gentle soul and a friend to all. Later he went on to work at Regence and we lost touch, but he was always in my thoughts. I was saddened to hear of his passing and the world will be a little less, and some of us will be a little more, because he has moved on to brighten another dimension. My thoughts are with his...

Heaven is brighter now with Russ in it. I had the pleasure of working w/ Russ when he worked at OHSU while I was at Regence, and kindly "recruited" him to join the case management staff there. He sat behind me at work and always made me smile and laugh when I needed it. I have thought of him often over the years since I left Regence and moved to PA. I am heartsick about his struggle and lost battle with cancer.
Thanks to Andrew and The Caring Bridge for keeping me updated with the...
