Wood's Brant Russell |
Huntington Beach, CA (6/15/2011)
- The motorcycle industry, and the world as
a whole, lost a good one on June 4th, when Brant
Russell, 55, passed away suddenly on Catalina
Island. He had no known health issues, but went
quickly and quietly. Brant had a long colorful
history in the national motorcycle / ATV industry.
He spent eleven years as the Vice President
of Marketing and Sales at Yoshimura R&D
and was involved with many racers and teams
starting with Jeremy McGrath in 1996. For the
last few years, Brant worked at Acorn Woods
Communications, a public relations firm in Huntington
Beach, California, with his partner Owen Provence.
He will be best remembered for his quick wit,
playful manner and unassuming intelligence.
Brant is survived by his mother - Mimi Russell,
his brother Steve, and his family - Desiree,
Conner, Danielle and Damon Russell. Services
will be held at the Huntington Beach Masonic
Lodge, 601 Palm Avenue on Friday, June 17th
at 6:30 PM. Overflow parking is available at
Hope Chapel and Advantage Funeral on Lake Street.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made
to St. Joseph's hospital through this link -
