No Mother Should Have To Bury A Child

On March 3, 2026, our hearts were shattered by the tragic and senseless loss of Russell "Tug Tarantino" Taylor, a loving father, devoted son, and cherished member of his family and community. Russell’s life was taken far too soon due to gun violence, leaving behind a deep void that can never truly be filled.

Russell was the proud and loving father of Trinity Taylor, who meant the world to him. He was also a beloved son to Linda Mitchell, a mother who is now facing the unimaginable pain of losing her child. No parent should ever have to endure such heartbreak.

Those who knew Russell remember his love for his family, his presence, and the way he cared deeply for the people in his life. His passing has left his loved ones grieving while also facing the difficult responsibility of laying him to rest.

During this incredibly painful time, the family is humbly asking for support to help cover funeral and burial expenses. Any donation, no matter how small, will help ease the financial burden and allow Russell’s family to give him the farewell he deserves.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Trinity, Linda, and the entire family in your prayers.
