Obituary of Benjamin A Russell

Benjamin A. Russell, 40, of Pollock Road, Town of Potsdam passed away on Monday, October 30, 2023 with his family at his side at his residence, the Lisbon IRA. Benjamin was born in Exeter, New Hampshire to Barry and Paula (Buchanan) Russell on July 15, 1983. The family then moved to Potsdam in 1988, and ran a dairy farm. Benjamin would then graduate through B.O.C.E.S. In addition to his parents Barry and Paula Russell of Potsdam, he is survived by his sisters Keri Brooks and Adam Parkhurst of Canton and her children-Bailey & Morgan, Jennifer Foote and Dennis Tebo of Parishville and her children-Owen & Britnee. Benjamin enjoyed riding on 4 wheelers, tractor trailers, fire trucks and any heavy equipment. He loved action movies, especially those with trucks, equipment and police cars and watching his sisters play basketball- mostly watching the ball go in the hoop. Most of all Benjamin loved antagonizing his sisters. He loved almost everyone he met and always greeted everyone with his signature devilish grin. There will be no services held. Lawrence Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Canton is in charge of his care arrangements. Memorial contributions may be made to The Lodge at Dreaming Tree Ranch, 185 Wilkinson Road, Potsdam, NY 13676. Condolences may be shared by visiting www.lawrencefuneralhome.org
