Obituary
Guest Book
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Russell A. Vercruysse on September 30, 2024. A devoted father, Russell leaves behind his beloved children: Cory (Valerie), Michele, Dustin (Sarah), and Jeremy (Stacey). His spirit will live on through his cherished grandchildren, who brought him immense joy.
Russell was not only a dedicated father but also a dear friend to many, including his very special companion, Colleen Stanton. While he is no longer with us, his warmth and care for those he loved will be remembered fondly.
There will be no prior visitation, as Russell’s family chose to honor his memory with private services. He found great pleasure in driving around in his Jeep and was an active member of several Jeep clubs, sharing laughter and adventures with friends and fellow enthusiasts.
As we celebrate Russell’s life, we encourage all who knew him to hold onto the beautiful memories and the love he shared with each of us. He will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered in our hearts.
