Russell Bueche Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Starks & Menchinger Chapel - Saint Joseph on Oct. 17, 2024.
Russell Bueche, 62, of St. Joseph, MI passed away October 12, 2024 at his home of natural causes.
Russ was born January 24, 1962 in South Bend, IN to Richard & Doris (Cave) Bueche. He graduated from Penn High School in Mishawaka, IN in 1980. He then attended the University of Cincinnati where he received his Bachelor's degree in Architecture.
He was known for his quick wit, strong work ethic, and snarky sense of humor - which will be missed dearly by all of his family and friends.
Russ worked for BSA Life Structures in Indiana as an Architect. He had a passion for his work and will be dearly missed by his coworkers.
Russ loved all things related to gardening and nature. Many of his neighbors enjoyed seeing his flowers and plants. He also enjoyed stamp collecting, music, and reading. Russ was also skilled in the kitchen and loved sharing food with family and friends.
Russ is survived by his brother Ron Bueche; sister Sherry Bueche; nieces and nephews Jessica (Todd) Russell, Sean Bueche, Alicia (Christopher Purcell) Bueche, Brett Bueche; many grand nieces and nephews; his best friends Scot and Marsha Webber as well and many friends.
Russell was preceded in death by his beloved parents, his sister-in-law Debra Bueche, and step-daughter Amanda Comer.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date. Memorials may be made to the Humane Society of Southwestern Michigan. Those wishing to share a memory of Russell online may do so at www.starks-menchinger.com
See you on the other side, Russ.

When we moved next door to Russ, he was the most welcoming neighbor. He loved all life, but we bonded over butterflies. We raised caterpillars one summer and he shared his milkweed so they could grow and fly. Our family will remember that forever.
He was also the most giving and kind neighbor. One year we had a ridiculous amount of snow and a small snow blower. My husband was so thankful as Russ had already removed our snow when he went out to take care of it. Russ was always there with a smile and a helping hand. You will be missed, friend.
