Russ was born June 8, 1950 in Council Bluffs, Iowa to Herman and Marjorie Abraham. Russ played in local rock and roll bands during high school and toured with a band shortly after he and Linda were married. He married Linda in Bremerton, Washington at the music store where they met and both worked. Russ graduated from Sacramento State and received his Master’s degree from Grand Canyon University. He worked for nearly 30 years in the San Juan Unified School District, first as a traveling music teacher, then full time at Dewey Fundamental School. Teaching elementary music was his passion. He also taught choir and was a Youth Power advisor. He most loved playing his many guitars, saying they each had their own voice. Russ is survived by his wife of 41 years, Linda, his son Terry Abraham and wife Kacey, sisters Sue and Paula, his brother Mike, and many nieces and nephews.
