Russell Hundley

Russell Bennett Hundley, age 67, passed away peacefully on July 31, 2024. Born on September 10, 1956, he was the beloved son of the late John W. Hundley and Doris Burdette Hundley. 

Russell was the devoted husband of Dorothy, with whom he shared 39 wonderful years of marriage. He was a cherished brother to Robert (Beverly), Doug, and Mark. As a father, he was treasured by his children, Rachel and Ben, who will always remember his unwavering support and love. 

Russell retired from UPS after a distinguished career spanning over 30 years, where he made many lifelong friends and left a lasting impact on his colleagues. 

He had a passion for harness racing horses, a hobby that brought him great joy and countless memories. He loved spending quality time with his family and was always surrounded by their warmth and laughter. His labradoodle, Callie, held a special place in his heart and was his faithful companion. 

He was an avid traveler who delighted in exploring new places and experiencing the beauty of the world. His adventurous spirit and love for life left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him. 

Russell is also survived by a beloved extended family, who will miss his kindness, generosity, and loving nature deeply. His extended family includes many nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws, all of whom held a special place in his heart.
