David Anderson Russell

Birth: Nov. 22, 1954
Death: Jul. 2, 2004

Funeral services for David Anderson Russell, 49, of Clifton, will be held this Friday, July 9, 2004, at 1 p.m., at First Baptist Church of Clifton, Dr. Andy Seidel officiating. Interment will follow at Trinity Lutheran Cemetery in Clifton. Russell died Friday, July 2, 2004, in Clifton. He was born Nov. 22, 1954, in Dallas, to John A. (Jack) Russell Jr. and Doris Anderson Russell. Following in his father’s footsteps, he was proud to be a member of the Bosque County (Clifton) Rotary Club. He regularly donated his artwork to various community fund-raisers. In the mid-1990s, the Clifton community honored Russell with the gift of a motorized wheelchair, which he deeply treasured. Those visiting the Sunset Home often found Russell teaching art to young students, starting a new commissioned painting outside under the porte-cochere, or listening to “his oldies” on KLUV on his radio in the sunroom of Unit D. Russell loved holidays, birthday parties, and family reunions. His friends, family, and faith meant everything to him. He will long be remembered for his infectious positive attitude, and the way he faced the overwhelming challenges in his life, a family member said. He was preceded in death by his father, John A. (Jack) Russell, Jr., and a brother, John Ansley Russell III. Russell is survived by his mother, Doris Russell of Clifton; two sisters, Sarah Russell of Clifton, and Becky and husband Craig Melde of Dallas; nephew Nicholas Melde; niece Jenna Melde; and numerous cousins, friends, and other relatives. Clifton Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
