Rusty Eric Cribbs

Rusty Eric Cribbs, age 53, passed away suddenly on February 14, 2026, after suffering a heart attack. His unexpected passing leaves a deep and painful void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Rusty was known for his strong spirit, his kind heart, and his ability to make people laugh even in the hardest moments. He had a way of making others feel seen and valued, and his presence brought comfort and familiarity to friends and family alike. Whether through conversation, shared memories, or simple companionship, Rusty left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.

He lived his life full throttle with authenticity, loyalty, and love for those close to him. Rusty was someone you could count on - a friend, a family member, and a soul who mattered deeply. His life, though far too short, was meaningful and full of moments that will be cherished forever.

Rusty is deeply loved and will be forever remembered by his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched. His memory will live on in stories, laughter, and the love that continues to surround his name.

Rusty is survived by his 2 beloved boys, Cody and Dylan, their mother and lifetime companion, his precious mother and Father, Sybil and Ray, and his brother, Randy.

"Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts."

A Celebration of Life Will Be held at a later date
