On Tuesday, September 17, 2019, Russell Irving Eubanks, father of five children, passed away at the age of 77. Russell was born on June 17, 1942 in Vardaman, MS to Roscoe and Vera (Minga) Eubanks. He worked as an aircraft mechanic in the civilian sector and retired from the Texas Air National Guard in January 2000. He had three sons, Richard, Gerald, and Russell Jr., and two daughters, Mary Ann and Lela. He was a free spirit and we never knew when he would pop into our lives. This could be said of him, “I had a dream about you last night…it was about a dreamer and a drifter walking. They start talking and swapping stories. No matter what the drifter says the dreamer always one-upped him. The drifter then woke up and realized he was the dreamer.” Russell was preceded in death by his father, Roscoe, his mother Vera, son, Richard, brothers, Roscoe Jr and Pleaty, sisters, Clyde, Adeline, Evelyn, Mary, Ellen, and Diane. He is survived by his son Gerald, daughter, Mary Ann, son, Russell Jr., daughter, Lela, his brother William, seven grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
