Russell Ivers Obituary
February 23, 1936 - May 7, 2025
Renton, Washington - Russell M. Ivers passed away on May 7, 2025, in Renton, Washington, at the age of 89.
Born on February 23, 1936, in Peru, Nebraska, Russell moved to the Richland area in 1943. He graduated from Columbia High School, a proud 1955 Bomber.
Russell was the beloved child of Floyd and Irene Ivers and was preceded in death by his siblings Luana (Bill) Porch, Kaye Ivers, and Bruce Ivers.
For 65 years, Russell shared life with his devoted spouse JoAnn (Sells) Ivers. Together they raised two children: Lori Aldrich and Dwight Ivers. Russell's legacy continues through eight grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.
Russell owned and operated Compressed Gas Western and Pacific Commercial Pallets. His work ethic and leadership left a lasting mark on those who worked alongside him.
Outside of business, Russell found joy in the outdoors and adventure. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, boating, camping, and traveling.
A memorial service will be held at Renton Bible Church, followed by interment at Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton, Washington.
