Russell Joseph Romero, aged 80, peacefully passed away on Thursday, July 20, 2023, surrounded by his cherished loved ones, leaving behind a legacy of cherished memories.
Russell was a man of many passions. He found joy in dancing and had an infectious sense of humor that brightened the lives of those around him. As a dedicated boat captain, he took great pride in his work, providing for his family and ensuring their well-being. A loving and devoted husband and father, Russell’s family meant the world to him. He shared his love for professional football (NFL), particularly admired the talented Patrick Mahomes. In his leisure time, he enjoyed playing cards and had a deep appreciation for swamp pop music.
Russell is survived by his loving children, Rodney Romero and Christine Romero Ritter, and her husband Danny; his grandchildren, Drake Ritter and Gary Romero; his great-grandchildren, Kolby Ritter, Kadin Ritter, Landyn Ritter, Makayla Ritter, Jadyn Ritter, and Elliot Romero. He is also survived by his brother, Paul Romero, along with numerous extended family members and friends, all of whom he cherished dearly.
Russell was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 60 years, Aline Ratcliff Romero, and his parents, William and Theresa Romero.
During this time of grief, let us remember Russell for his kindness, humor, and unwavering devotion to his family. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
A private service will be held at a later date.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
