Russell Michael Mantione

"Those we love can never be more than a thought away... for as long as there's a memory, they live in our hearts to stay." Russell was an extremely friendly and personable person. He was fun-loving, caring and loved his friends and family dearly. Russell could strike up a conversation with just about anyone, he wasn't shy! He loved to travel to visit friends in new and exciting cities, and never had a problem adventuring out on his own. He enjoyed reading, playing video games and watching tons of movies, especially star wars. He had a passion for food, mostly Italian, but he was definitely a "foodie." He even had a separate Instagram page that he ran, just dedicated to pizza! Russell truly brought a unique sense of love, joy and excitement with him wherever he went. Russell will be eternally missed by all of his family and friends.
