Russell Blacketer

Russell Eugene Blacketer passed away at his home on June 12, 2025 at the age of 65.

He is survived by his mother Pearl Sparks, sisters Patti Kulpinski, Pam Bouse and his brother Curtis Blacketer, nieces Jill Martinez, Amanda Montez and nephews Ben Kulpinski and Erik Bouse.

Russ was a successful businessman owning Computer Cable Installation for many years, reluctantly retiring due to MS.

He stayed active with his numerous friends enjoying his Thurs. night out with the boys for many years. His boisterous laughter was infectious and even though he had many physical challenges he endured them with humor and grace.

Russ was an avid motorcycle enthusiast and enjoyed nothing more than going for a ride, preferable a fast ride, with his buddies.

We are comforted knowing that Russ is now on his dream bike riding on a glorious trail with his beloved Small Fry, Bandit, Blue and Major in a sidecar. We will always love him and he will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. Live to Ride, Ride to Live Brother.
