Declan Scott Russell

In loving memory of Declan Scott Russell, the cherished one-year-old son of Dana and Peter Russell, who left this world unexpectedly to be with the Lord on Friday, January 26, 2024. Born on January 23, 2023, Declan's joyful spirit touched the hearts of all who knew him. He found delight in watching Miss Rachel, fearlessly climbing on things, sharing laughter and playing with his best friend and sister Delaney, and snuggling with everyone who held him close. Though his time with us was too brief, the love he brought into our lives will forever be etched in our hearts. May he rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love that enveloped his short, but profoundly impactful, journey.

In addition to his parents and sister Delaney, he is survived by paternal grandmother, Judy “Juju” Russell, maternal grandmother, Terri Hummer, maternal grandfather Rick Harrell, paternal great grandmother, Anna Rae Russell, maternal great grandparents, Lester Hummer and Donald and Janet Harrell. Declan is preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Doug Russell, paternal great grandparents, Robert and Josephine Wagner, and maternal great grandmother, “Granny” Darlene Hummer. He is survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, family and friends.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 from 2:00 pm – 9:00 pm and funeral services on Thursday, February 1, 2024 at 11:00 am at Blanchard Strabler Funeral Home, 3219 Tremainsville Road, Toledo, OH. Burial will immediately follow at Ottawa Hills Memorial Park.
