With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Russel Leonard Ristau (Victoria, British Columbia), whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on April 1, 2026. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Russel farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Russel is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was also cherished by his niece and nephew.
