Russell Taylor Middleton of North Augusta, 34, entered into rest on January 15, 2024. 

He attended and played football for North Augusta High School. He was a diehard Georgia Bulldogs fan. He loved his family deeply. He never met a stranger, and could fill the room with laughter and humor. He was truly one of a kind. 

He is survived by his mother, Pam Middleton of North Augusta; his sister, Kaylyn Middleton of Atlanta, GA; his paternal grandmother Elsie Hinton of North Augusta; and a host of uncles, aunts, and cousins. 

He was preceded in death by his father, Johnnie Middleton; his grandmother, Patricia Woodruff Yarbrough; and his uncle, Jimmy Woodruff; and many other loving family members.

A memorial service honoring Russell's life will be held on Saturday, January 20 at 2:00 PM at Lakeside Baptist Church, Pastor Tad Marshall officiating. 

Memorials may be made to Rowland-Ford Funeral Home to help offset the cost of funeral services.
