Calvin Russell 'Russ' Meadows died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Ft. Lauderdale, on Wednesday, February 10, 2016. He was released from the hospital on Sunday, February 7th and the Lord blessed him with the incredible gift of three days at home, surrounded by his loving family and his beloved dog, Nemo. Russ visited with his family, in person, by telephone, on Skype and on Facetime. He had the opportunity to tell and hear stories, to laugh and make others laugh and request and hear songs his beloved brother-in-law, Mark G. Hayden played and sang for him. Russ was surrounded by the sounds of his grandchildren playing, laughter, Nemo barking and people coming and going, which is exactly what he wished for.
Born January 2, 1942, in Harlan, Kentucky, Russ was the oldest son of the late John and Ora E.(nee Davenport), Meadows. Russ graduated from Taylor High School in Cleves, Ohio, in 1960.

Russ was an avid golfer and many, many times, was known to play the game from dawn to dusk. He went on numerous golf trips with his friends and looked forward to each one. Russ enjoyed working in his yard, fishing and camping and was a huge Bengals and Reds fan. Later in life, his all time favorite thing to do was to plan, and go on roadtrips. In 2002, Russ, his wife and his youngest daughter, moved to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Russ loved his family dearly and would make frequent trips up north to visit them every chance he got.
Russ was a proud father of four children. He and his first wife, Peggy, had two daughters; Theresa A. Akers and Traci M. (Howard) Shoelson. In 1977 he married the love of his life, Sharon L. (nee Hayden), and they enjoyed just shy of 39 years of happy marriage. They had two children; a son, Calvin R. (Kelly) Meadows II and a daughter, Courtney L. Britt. Russ leaves 2 brothers, Michael A.
