Russell Todd Osborn, 57 years young, was born in Indio, CA in August of 1961. His mother, Lela Pauline Criner, married as a young woman to his father, Jerry Osborn. Jerry was an old fashioned spurs and saddle cowboy. Russell, his brother Mark Thomas and sister, Leslie Jean were raised country and had a childhood full of adventure and love. As a man, he married a young woman named Tracy Lane McGee, whose union led to the lives of their children; 30 year old Shane Douglas & 33 year old Chelsie Ann, who has since then had two children of her own. Russells beloved grandchildren, Fairynn Pauline, 10 years old, and Liam Thomas, 5 years old, who were very fond of their grandpa & would honor him with stories and moments they had together. Russell lived a fast, exciting life; full of experiences. Some good and some bad, which molded him into the honest, generous & loving man everyone loves and remembers. He was happy with his work, whether it was operating machinery or driving trucks. Being somewhere new and meeting people was natural to him. He could start a conversation with anyone. He was an all around fun loving guy, who will be sorely missed by all whose lives he touched. There are many who call him family and will always hold his memory in their hearts as such. Rest Peacefully....until we meet again....
