Russell Coach

Rob rarely takes pictures but as he was leaving work this evening he could not resist capturing this sky!! No filter!

Happy birthday to the best shop foreman ever! This man can fix anything! We got your birthday on Instagram yesterday (thanks Morgan), your actual birthday! Sorry we are a day late on Facebook (slacker...Wendy)! Thank you for all you do! Happy Birthday, Mr. Wayne!!

We have waited a few weeks to share the tragic news on social media to give Johnny's family and our Russell Coach family time to process. It is with a very heavy heart that we share publicly that one of our drivers, Johnny, passed away on July 21, 2026 very unexpectedly. Johnny was only 40 years old and leaves behind his beautiful wife and newborn baby. Johnny had the privilege of being with his wife for the birth of their son. Johnny was so proud of his little family. Johnny’s death has shocked us all and is very sad and tragic. We are focused on his wife and one-month old baby at this time. Unfortunately for Johnny’s family, including his RCC family, evil has taken Johnny from us way too soon. We ask that you respect the privacy of Johnny’s wife as she is raising their newborn and navigating life now without Johnny. There is a Go Fund Me page that has been created by his sister-in-law. If you would like to contribute, his wife is very appreciative of the support. She is currently on maternity leave and was relying on Johnny's income. There is another Go Fund Me for Johnny that was set up by someone for self-gain, but rest assured, all donations through this Go Fund Me will go direct to his wife and baby to help with expenses.
