Russell Ray "Rusty" Furr, 68, of Indian Trail, passed away July 30, 2022. Born April 6, 1954 in Charlotte, North Carolina, he was the son of the late Ray and Peggy Furr.
Heaven now has a wonderful craftsman, teacher, and provider. Rusty was a tremendous mentor to his children and grandchildren. He was a great speaker for the Lord his entire life, and was one of the greatest story tellers the world has ever known. Rusty taught his children to be self-sufficient, to work hard, to do what they love and to surround themselves with people that bring them joy.
Rusty was an entrepreneur and a master builder of all things. He was a man of integrity, and he never passed up an opportunity to help his family and friends, no matter what they needed. He was an avid outdoorsman; He hunted, trapped, fished, farmed, and appreciated everything God created. He shared those experiences with many friends and always had the most hilarious stories. Rusty always said, "You have to be a friend to have a friend." It's such a simple message, but it truly describes his life and all the wonderful people surrounding him.
He will be deeply missed by all.
Russell is survived by Ms. Jamie Furr (Daughter), and her son, Anthony; Ms. Brandy Furr (Daughter); Mr. William Furr, and wife, Kelia, and their children, Colton and McClaine Furr; Susan Furr (mother of his children), and many more loving friends.
Russell was preceded in death by his parents, Ray and Peggy Furr.
The family will receive friends from 10:00AM to 11:00AM on August 4, 2022 at Hankins & Whittington Funeral Service, 1111 East Boulevard, Charlotte, 28203. Interment will follow at Ebenezer Associate Reformed Presbyterian Cemetery, 6210 Old Pineville Road,Charlotte, NC 28217.

I only got to know him in the last 5-10 years. He and I really hit it off. He will greatly missed. We would talk about Ancestry for hours. This one of my mothers passions along with Rusty. He was a great guy and I hate I didn't have more time with him.
I guess he is finding about all the family connections and kin from the past. Especially enjoying time with His Mother and Father, Paw Paw and Granny. And most of all Jesus

A true friend who over several years gave me a lot of answers and solutions that I needed. I had the privilege of having heard a lot of God's word, as well as stories about life, you will be deeply missed.
Like the good book says I will know when I see again.

The world will never be the same without Rusty Furr for anyone that knew him. All the things said in the obituary above are all true. But its really impossible to discribe Rusty unless you knew him. he could virtually do or make anything, and it would be done Right. He would help you with any problem no matter how tough it might be and see it through. If you knew Rusty your life was blessed. I can't imagine him gone.
