January 6, 1965 — December 5, 2024
Ilion - Ronald R. Russell, a lifelong Ilion resident, passed away peacefully in his home on Thursday, December 5, 2024, at the age of 59.
Born on January 6th, 1965, he was a son of the late Raymond and Margaret Russell. Ron spent his entire life in the community he loved. He was a proud graduate of Ilion High School with the Class of 1984. Ron was known for his genuine kindness and gentle spirit. Ron faced life's challenges with resilience and grace. He loved keeping busy by helping others, doing yard work, most especially keeping up the rose bushes at his apartment building. He was a proud member of the Ilion First Baptist Church.
He is survived by his dear aunt, Elizabeth "Betty" Bouck of Ilion, his sister, Jana Bouck Green, also of Ilion, and her children, Ron's cherished niece and nephew, Collin Bouck Green and Hannah Paige Green and her companion, Cameron Ward.
Ron was preceded in death by his loving parents. He is also reunited in rest with his beloved "Uncle Don" Bouck, who passed in 2018 and his cherished "Gram and Pa", Margaret and Harold Geer.
While Ron faced challenges, his warmth and generosity left a lasting impact on those who knew him. His family and friends will remember him for his unyielding strength, his unwavering love, for all of them as well as his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Yankees.
