Russell F. Hickenbottom, 1956-2019

NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. — Russell F. Hickenbottom, 63, passed away Sunday, Sept. 8, 2019, at his residence.

Russ was born June 10, 1956, in Youngstown, Ohio. He was a 1974 graduate of Austintown Fitch High School.

He is a veteran of the U.S. Navy.

Russ was a proud father, son, grandfather, uncle and friend. He was an avid online gamer and could always be found at his computer desk with Pepsi, M&Ms, Tootsie Rolls, or some Hershey Kisses. He enjoyed the gun range along with tinkering with various electronics making his own creations. Russ also loved to watch NASCAR, fireworks and thunderstorms, and mowing his lawn (even if it took awhile).

“Russ will be remembered forever in our hearts.”

Russ is survived by his mother, Dolores Hickenbottom; wife, Michelle Hickenbottom; his children, Jason (Racheal) Hickenbottom of California, Md., Carla (Duane) Weingartner of New Middletown, Ohio, and Holly (Nicholas) Magazzine of Boardman, Ohio; stepdaughters, Joellen Scott and Misty Confer; six grandchildren, Kayla, Tyler, Vincenzo, Alfonso, Luciana, and Lilian; five step-grandchildren, Jonathan, Destiny, Eric, Marissa, and Lilianna; and nieces, nephews, and friends.

Russ was preceded in death by his father, Frank Hickenbottom; brother, William (Elizabeth) Hickenbottom; and sister, Shirley Benedict.

Family is honoring Russell’s wishes to have no memorial service.

Condolences and cards may be sent to Holly Magazzine, 415 Erskine Ave., Boardman, Ohio 44512
