Russell Eugene Gettman

Russell Eugene Gettman, born and raised in Colorado, came into the world on May 29, 1959. He was an amazing husband, a loving father and an all around phenomenal man. He touched the lives of everyone he encountered and he always knew how to make people laugh. On August 31, 1985, he got married to his wife Josephine. Some years later, his eldest, Martina, was born and three years after his youngest, Josefa. He loved ""his girls"" unconditionally and he proved it. As a proud father, he did everything in his power to provide for his family. He worked hard but played even harder. He was an avid fisherman and was always down to go fishing. He taught his family to live freely, laugh loudly and to never live with regret. He was our very own superhero who was sent to inspire, motivate, and teach us. He went on his final fishing trip on February 12, 2009. May he fish in peace. Please share your memories of Russell and/or condolences to his family by selecting the ""Sign Guestbook"" tab below.
