David Russell

David Allen Russell, age 21, passed away October 18, 2019, in a tragic accident.

Born January 16, 1998, David was the only child of Ken and Trisha Russell of Grand Junction, CO, and was a lifelong resident of Grand Junction. David graduated from Grand Junction High School in 2016, attended CMU, and was an employee of Orchard Mesa Lanes since the age of 16.

Bowling was David’s passion. He was an active member of Mesa County USBC, bowled on the Orchard Mesa Youth Bowling League from ages 4 – 18 and on the Palisade High School Bowling Club Team from 2012-2016. He bowled his first 200 game at the age of 10; first 300 game in 2013. He continued to excel and on June 30, 2017, he bowled his first 815 series (258-300-257) and in February 2019 bowled an 805 series (206-299-300). He was the recipient of USBC scholarship funds for his bowling accomplishments.

He was a happy, caring young man and could always make everyone smile. He enjoyed video games, bowling and spending time with friends and family.

David is survived by both parents and brother, Jayden Miller, “from another mother,” and extended family.

A memorial service will be held October 28, 2019, at 1 pm at Colorado Mesa University, Meyer Ballroom at University Center.  Graveside service will follow at Orchard Mesa Cemetery and a reception immediately afterwards at Orchard Mesa Lanes.
