Daniel A. Russell (Hartville)'s Obituary
Just 12 days after coming into the world, Daniel Arick Russell passed away peacefully in his parents’arms at the Cardinal Glennon Hospital in St.Louis, MO.
During that fleeting time, he touched many lives and was loved by all who met him.
Born nearly twelve weeks early and weighing only 2 lbs, 4 oz, Daniel was still able to grip his father's finger and respond to his mother’s touch during his brief stay on earth. He had a few wisps of light hair and the long fingers of his father.
Daniel joins his grandmother, Pat Heflin; his grandfather, Jesse Fullington; and his aunt, LaDonna
Ford, in heaven. He is survived by his mother and fathers, Airicka and Ritchie Russell, Vernon Heflin; his brothers, Dallas and Truvin Russell, Justin and Frank Heflin; his sisters Jazira Russell, Pat, Shaye and Bayliee Heflin; his grandparents, Rick and Donna Ford of Hartville, Linda Fullington of Hartville, Frank Heflin of Bolivar; his great grandparents Ruth Fullington of Hartvill
e and Jackie Finley of Competition; his cousins Kaeden Teubner, Logan Flores, Shyanna Cron
ey, Mikyla Gilliland and numerous other cousins, aunts and uncles.
Daniel will be interred alongside his aunt LaDonna, who would have loved him dearly. The family would like to thank the Cox Hospital staff for their effort and dedication.
