Kim Tony Russell was born on September 9, 1966 to the late Virginia and Jack Russell. On Wednesday, November 8, 2017, Kim departed this realm of life.

Kim attended school in the Baltimore County Public School System.

Kim-Boy as he was affectionately known to his friends was a happy-go-lucky young man. He would always greet you with a smile. He was the youngest of nine children.

As a young child he enjoyed being outdoors and doing anything to get dirty. His siblings lovingly remember their mother calling him "dirt diver". Back then you had three types of clothes, your play clothes, school clothes and church clothes. All of his clothes had a hole in the knee. He wasn't just hard on clothes, he was hard on toys too. None of them rarely lasted long.

Kim loved his family, especially his nieces and nephews, and would do anything for them. He was very loyal to his friends too. He remained close to two friends in particular, Sherry Wright and Joe Robinson. They didn't see each other often but the bond they shared was strong.

As Kim, "Tony" matured, he became a man and had ten children. A softball team of his own.

He was employed with Winner Distributors and was a good worker there. He was employed there until his death.

He was always saying he was broke, but it was all for his softball team. He really tried hard to be the best dad he knew how to be. You would always see him with one of his children.

Kim leaves to mourn and cherish his memory: his children , Shanae , Devin , Justin , Tony , Justice , Corey , Sean , Lexus and Mazmalek ; sisters , Gail , Jackie and Renee ; brothers , Eric and Karl ; brother in-laws , Cornell Morgan and Roy Isaacs ; two aunts , Ruth Walker of Virginia and Velma Russell of New York ; one uncle , Sonny Russell of New Jersey; a host of nieces , nephews , cousins and other relatives .
