Russ Harrison Myers, 66, of Hiawatha, passed away Monday, April 8, 2019. There will be no services. A get together will be at a later date.
Russ was born March 17, 1953, to Russell and Eleanor Myers. He grew up in Alburnett, Iowa. He enlisted into the U.S. Navy in 1970. Russ became a tree trimmer and ran his own tree service for many

He loved to go fishing, hunting- especially mushrooms-and hanging out with good friends. He also loved being at home with his two favorite "puppies," Nitro and Crush. He is loved and missed by so many.
