Russell Leon Mott, age 81, sadly passed away in his granddaughter’s home
in Kingman, Arizona on Oct. 19, 2021. Russell was born March 20, 1940 in
Los Angeles, California. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy after his high
school graduation and was honorably discharged in 1961.

Russell had numerous occupations from being a mechanic to his passion of
being a cook. Upon retirement Russell found his way to the serene away
of Golden Valley, Arizona where he purchased some land and made it a
place he hoped to call home forever for him and his grandchildren.

Russell loved going to the local VFW for Monday night pool with his
granddaughter Larrie and singing karaoke on Saturday nights. Russell
loved going to the Santa Anita racetrack as much as he loves bowling on
leagues at the Riverside in Laughlin.

He was a stubborn, strong and proud man who thought he was invincible
and would live forever. He was the type of person that would never see
the bad in someone and always believed everyone was a friend.

He was proceeded in death by his parents, brother and son Shawn, who we
lost in January of 2021.

He leaves behind a daughter Jacqueline (Mott); three grandchildren
Rachael, Larrie and Hailee; one grandson Shawn Jr.; and three great-
grandchildren with two more expected next year.

We will cherish all the memories of this wonderful man called Dad,
Grandpa and friend to many. Russell will be laid to rest with his Mother
in Oceanside, California in the near future.
