After a brief battle with cancer Russell passed away peacefully on June 3, 2025 at the age of 82. Predeceased by his parents Eric and Gerda, brothers Stewart, Robert, Clifford and sister Evelyn. Wife Linda and numerous in – laws.

Left to mourn Russ’s memory are his children Bonnie (Wanda), Leah (Ken) and Joe (Elissa). Grandchildren Tarrant, Aiden, Kelsey, Jonas, Toren, Andrew, Wyatt, Jesse, Jolene and Charmaine.

Russ was born in Teulon, Manitoba and lived his life on the homestead he built for his family. Dad was a proud Swede and maintained involvement with the Norris Lake Community. He was a brilliant Machinist and Gunsmith and well known to the Interlake. Dad worked for 60 years as a Machinist at Kilberry Industries, Wesley Machine Shop and operated his own machine shop at home. His knowledge of Teulon and Inwood’s history was admired by many. Russ had many lifelong friendships throughout the years and cherished each.

In Dad’s later years, he spent countless hours watching and supporting Jonas and Toren in all of their sporting activities. Walking them to the bus in the mornings, baking cookies and muffins. He loved ice fishing, road trips, and singing to old Swedish tunes.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to all of those who took the time to visit Dad’s while he was in the hospital. A special thanks to the compassionate care the staff at the Teulon Hospital gave Dad.

In keeping with Russell’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service.

The family will conduct a small celebration of life at a later date with family and friends.
