Russell Smith

Russell Smith, age 70, returned to our heavenly father on June 20, 2024, surrounded by family. He was born on July 28, 1953, to Verrell Blair and Arlene Smith in Ogden, Utah. On June 16, 1977, he married the love of his life Teresa Abbott. He had four children whom he loved with all of his heart. He was a wonderful loving, caring husband, father, grandfather and brother. He will be greatly missed by his best friend and brother Brad. 

He drove truck over the road for many years and finally settled down in his hometown Morgan, Utah where he would raise his family and continue driving truck for Granite Construction where he worked for the last 27 years. He loved playing video games with his sons Cameron and Dillon and fishing with his son-in-law Chris. He loved the many long chats with his granddaughters and being the best stand-in father for them, taking them to all their daddy daughter dances and making great memories with them. 

He is survived by his wife Teresa, three daughters Deena LeAnn Morrison, Becky (Chris) Heiner, Bailey Denise Smith, son Cameron (Angela) Smith, and his bonus son Dillon (Whittny) Smith, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild, sisters Jessica Donean Nottingham, Florida, Alice Colette Wyland, Missouri, Robin (Fermin) Trujillo, Colorado, two brothers, Tracey Jay (Brenda) Smith, Nevada, Bradford Alexander (Terrie) Smith, Wyoming, and brother-in-law Smitty. He is preceded in death by his mother, father, and baby sister Wendy Smith. 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
