To the family of Rusty Bigelow:
I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your father, brother, son. Rusty was a great person with a heart of gold!! I'll cherish the time we had together and the memories we made!! He used to tease me all the time about being a K-State fan and bought me a jersey for my birthday with my name on it that I will wear with pride and fond memories!! This is not good-bye my friend, but for now..............

I feel such a loss at Rustys' passing. Rusty was my cousin and I feel like I have lost a lifelong friend. I can remember visiting years ago and the fun we would have, in some ways it seems like just yesterday. My condolences to everyone, especially Russell and the boys. You all must feel such sadness.

I've known Rusty for nearly 15 years when we first met working for the same company. We formed a lifelong friendship, sharing a love of our families, travel, food, movies & OU football. He was a kind, generous, & a devoted family man, very proud of Chelsea & Allison, & had a work ethic I admired. We saw each other thru life's ups & downs. He will be missed by many, as he touched many lives. My heart goes out to everyone that knew him, & especially his family.

To the Bigelow family, i was very sad to hear of Rusty's passing. Rusty worked for me as a salesman at Marcone and we had many great times both at work and outside of work. He was a talented salesman, as well as a great guy. My sympathies to your entire family.

Rusty was a long time friend of our family, being best friends with cousin Barry. Our thanksgivings won't be the same without Rusty. During the lightning storm the morning of 8/20, on my way to work, I knew Rusty was in Heaven telling his stories and cracking everyone up; that was the lightning!
We'll miss you Rusty.

Russell & Mary,
We wonder why GOD called Rusty home; He must have needed him more than his loved ones here on earth. We always thought parents are not suppose to bury their children but it is GOD'S PLAN and he knows best. I pray that GOD gives you the strength to carry on until you are united once again in heaven with Rusty.

Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time. I count in a blessing to have known Rusty and to remember him being my 2nd grade Sunday School Teacher and friend. I still have my first fishing pole that Rusty gave me when I was in his class. I know that the Bigelow family has meant a lot and continue to do so to my entire family. We are praying that God will give you all peace and grace as you deal with the loss of Rusty.
Trent, Carrie, Truitt and Tate Campbell
