Aidan Russell Obituary

Aidan J. Russell, 19, of North Haven, tragically passed away on Tuesday, July 8th, 2025. He was born in Tavares, FL and moved to Connecticut in 2010 where he graduated from North Haven High School. He enjoyed video games, traveling and going to concerts where he would dress up as a purple teletubby and entertain the crowds, one time buying pizza to share with others standing in line with him. His biggest passion was playing the guitar. Aidan taught himself how to play with some help from his Uncle Bill and Uncle Mark. They were so proud of how quickly he picked up the skill and he would often send them videos of him playing looking for feedback on how to improve. Aidan couldn't wait to have a sibling and his wish finally came true in 2024 when his baby brother Tucker was born. Tucker was the first person Aidan looked for when he came home and we find peace in knowing that Aidan will be watching down on him to guide him through life as he cared for everyone he came in contact with. He quickly made friends wherever he went and would help anyone that needed it. He is survived by his mother Brittney Russell, step-father Christopher Motyl, brother Tucker Motyl, grandparents William and Elizabeth Russell of Westbrook, CT, Paul and JoAnn Motyl of North Haven, CT and George and Alicia Barrett from Florida. He is also survived by his Uncles Keith, Bill and Mark, and his longtime girlfriend Sophie Goff who quickly became a part of our family. Aidan was a kind, caring person and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. This world is so cold now that you've gone away. The visiting hours will be Monday, July 14th from 4:00 to 7:00 PM at The Havens Family North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Avenue. A Catholic Parlor Service will follow at 7:00 PM. Interment will be private and at the convenience of the family. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Aidan, please visit our Tree Store.

I met Aidan when he volunteered to help backstage w the NHHS musicals. He always made me smile and his easy going nature always helped stressful times. We had some great conversations while building sets including how much he loved Tucker. Aidan, I will miss you. You touched so many lives. My deepest condolences to your loved ones.
