Posted

Russell J. Giles, 35, my beloved son, passed away at his residence on Jan. 6, 2021.

He was born in Cottonwood, Ariz. on March 21, 1985. He loved his music, fishing, skate boarding, cooking and had a true connection with animals.

Most of all he loved his daughter Hannah Grace Giles more than anything in this world. He was a funny and very intelligent young man. He was always there if someone needed him no matter what. He always put others first before himself. It was always his point to make at least a handful of people laugh throughout the day on a daily basis.

He is preceded in death by his father Steve L. Sexton.

He is survived by his mother Renee of Globe, Ariz., Levi and Chasity (brother and sister) of Cottonwood, Ariz., David and Jessica (brother and sister) of New Zealand, Aaron and Robert (brothers) of Globe, and the one true love of his life Hannah Grace Giles (daughter) of Globe.

He will truly be missed by the ones that knew him well. Rest easy, Russell, and fly free.
