The Celebration of Life will be held at First Baptist Church of Mesa, 4801 E Brown Road, Mesa, AZ 85205 on September 24th 2013 at 5PM. Food will be served. All are welcome.
The family requests donations in Russell's honor go to one of the causes he supported.
Here is a partial list of causes and organizations:
Russell had a heart for the homeless and was himself homeless for a time. Some organizations helping the homeless include:
Paz De Cristo- Paz De Cristo's mission is to treat all people with dignity and respect. They provide meals and food boxes and help facilitate housing and medical care for the poor and homeless.
Goodwill of Arizona- Goodwill's mission is to help people find jobs. They provide resources and career training for those who need help finding a job.
Russell was concerned with the mistreatment of Gays and Lesbians around the world.
I am currently looking for a group to support. I will post once I have one. In the mean time- Honor Russell by being kind and respectful to all people regardless of their sexuality.
Russell cared about children.
Feed My Starving Children- FMSC is an amazing charity that has specially designed a food for and provides that food to malnourished children in nearly 70 countries around the world. They accept financial donations or time donations. If you are so inclined, you can commit a few hours to actually pack the food.
The important thing is to treat people with kindness and respect. If you can help anyone today, do that in Russell's memory. Then, if you are willing, share your story in the Legacy section of this website. We would love to hear how Russell is being honored. His legacy will be a great blessing to me, my parents and my family.
Thanks,
