Kenneth Harrison Russell, 74

Ken Russell was born December 18, 1948, in Estherville, Iowa to LeRoy and Erma Russell. He peacefully passed away at home Tuesday, July 11, 2023, and went to be with his Lord and Savior.

Ken graduated from Beaman-Conrad-Linscomb High School in 1967 and then attended Marshalltown Community College and worked in Marshalltown. He married the love of his life, Shelly Everhart, in 1972 in Gretna, Neb. Recently they celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary.

In 1973, Ken and Shelly moved to the Pacific Northwest where Ken pursued his love of fishing, hunting and trapping. He had a variety of jobs until in 1989 he purchased the Stove Corral. After several bouts of cancer, he sold the business and retired in 2012.

Ken shared the love of the outdoors with his sons, Jerod and Nicolas. No matter where he was or what he was doing he always had time for others and would share his love of Christ. He truly loved his many trips to Alaska fishing.

He is survived by his wife, Shelly; his two sons, Jerod and wife Allie, and Nicolas; two grandchildren, Tyrone Larson and Amaya Russell; his sister, Vicki Cox; niece, Shawna Groneberg; and five nephews, Mike Majerus and family, Dustin Cox and family, Skyler Everhart, Drew Niceley and Troy Niceley. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister, Karel and niece, Gena.
