      Russell E. Duvall, 63, passed away, Friday, June 14, 2024, at Anderson Hospital, in Maryville, IL.

      He was born December 7, 1960, in East St. Louis, MO, to Delmar and Rita (nee McClain) Duvall.

      Russell was a man of unwavering integrity and unparalleled work ethic. His hands crafted countless repairs and projects, each one a testament to his meticulous nature and dedication to his craft. Known in the community for his reliability and skill, Russell was always the first to lend a helping hand, fixing things both big and small with a smile.

      Beyond his talents as a handyman, Russell found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved nothing more than spending quality time with his beloved daughter, creating memories over shared meals at their favorite restaurants and watching countless movies together. These moments were the highlights of his days, bringing him boundless happiness and pride.

      Russell's greatest love was his family. He was a beacon of kindness, a pillar of support, and a source of endless love. His generosity knew no bounds, and his heart was always open. Whether through his gentle words or his thoughtful deeds, Russell's presence was a gift to all who knew him.

      He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Susan (nee Stephens) Duvall; parents, Delmar and Rita Duvall; siblings, Cathy Duvall, Donny Duvall, Jeffrey Duvall, Deloris Niece, Michael Duvall.

      Russell is survived by his daughter, Nichole Duvall; siblings, Frank “Butch” Duvall, Judy Kolda, Penny Duvall; nieces, nephews, and many loving friends.

      Memorials may be made to the Duvall Family.

      I had the pleasure of working closely with Russ for the past five years. His inner strength always astounded me. He just kept on going despite the loss of his wife and mother, and his own health issues. He was a complete gentleman through it all. His passing has left an emptiness in our team that will take some time to heal. I am comforted to know that he is finally at peace. RIP dear friend.
