Russell Bittle Obituary

Visitation for Russell Bittle will be held on Saturday, June 2, 2018 from 3-5 p.m. Russell's life was nothing short of spectacular. Just to be in his presence was sheer excitement. He was the best at everything he did from baseball to football, you just never knew with him, but you always knew it was going to be a blast!!! On May 20, 2018, Russell Stephen Bittle, ran that last home run and made it across the home plate. He won his battle against cancer and knocked it out of the park!!! Until they meet again at the Golden Shores, Russell temporarily leaves behind his wife, Christina Charpentier-Bittle, who loves, adores and cherishes every moment that God gave them and continues to give them through their children and grandchildren. He is also survived by his beautiful, five, yes, five, brown-eyed "gals", Amanda Kay (Percy), Deonne Nicole (Josh), Michaela Gabrielle, Sara Elizabeth and Victoria Grace. Then there are the grands, five of those too; Kyleigh, Carson, MaKya, Mylee and Tre. We often refer to ourselves as the Griswold's lol… Now, the two that started this very special family were Ernest Lee and Daisy Lee Bittle, of Munford. Russell was the baby, and if you didn't believe it just ask his mama. He has two older siblings, a brother, Gerald Bittle (Joy), of Talladega and Ernestine Bittle Smith (Paul), of Munford. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! In lieu of flowers, send donations to Shelby Cancer Care Center 1024 1st Street North Alabaster, AL 35007 Attn: Lila/Leila On memo line write:In honor of Russell Bittle. Usrey Funeral Home of Talladega is directing the services.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family, sorry for your loss. Jeremiah 29:11 assures us that God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope, may that bring you comfort in this time of sorrow.

Some people come into our lives and make you feel grateful that you were able to get to know them. I met Russell as he started his journey fighting his cancer. He always lifted me up when I should have been the one that ministered to him. He always had a smile. The last time I saw him his remark was I am still fighting. Praise God the battle is over and God has called him home. We all loved him and Christine. We all miss him Lila Quillen /Alabama oncology
