Russell Keith Slone

March 23, 2017

Russell Slone entered into rest March 23rd, 2017 in Comanche, Texas at the age of 52. Russell was born to father James Slone and mother Melba Slone on February 17th, 1965 in Brady at the old hospital. He lived in Brady his entire life where he was a member of the Church of Christ. He married his beloved wife of 21 years Gloria (Taylor) Slone at the San Saba river in Menard County on May 25th, 1996. Russell would always argue with Gloria about the date they tied the knot. He always said it was the 27th and not the 25th. (Gloria was right) Russell had a love for the outdoors. He loved to build things. He wasn't as good as his brother but over the years he got better at building his projects. He also loved to fish. Russell and his brother, Michael would go find a fishing hole somewhere and spend hours waiting for a fish to bite the hook. He loved to hunt as well. He was a rancher and loved being in the country. He would always cook barbque at the family reunions. Needless to say his barbque was amazing. He loved his family and friends and his grandkids knew him as grandad. He was a quiet person but he knew how to pull pranks on people. He found joy in pranking family and friends and made many memories by doing so. Russell is survived by his loving wife, Gloria Slone of Brady; two daughters, Rachel Slone and husband Corey of Brady, and Brittney Randles and husband Jonathan of Brady; mother, Melba Slone of Brady: sister, Jayme Graves and husband, David, of Brady; grandchildren, Weston Slone, Sean Randles, and Avery Slone, along with numerous aunt, uncles, cousins, and friends. Russell is preceded in death by his dad, James Edwards Slone; and two brothers, Michael Slone, and Eddie Slone. In lieu of flowers the family has request donations to be made to your charity of choice.
