Russell L. Kriescher: Taking the Final Scenic Route
________________________________________
Russell L. Kriescher, a truly great man whose kind heart was matched only by his lifelong love of cars, passed away on October 10, 2025, at the age of 40.
Russell's life was inextricably linked to the automotive world. For him, cars weren't just a hobby; they were a passion and a constant source of joy. He had an infectious enthusiasm and a deep appreciation for everything with an engine. That passion extended to the road itself; he was a master navigator who knew every alternate route in the city, effortlessly guiding himself and others around any traffic jam.
Beyond the asphalt, Russell was beloved for his big heart and willingness to help-he would go out of his way for people he knew, and for those he didn't. He also had a special devotion to dogs, earning him the title of the best dog sitter ever.
Russell will be terribly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His kind heart and vibrant spirit will forever ride with us on the open road.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a local homeless shelter, food bank or animal shelter.
