About Mike Russo

About Our Mikey


Mikey was a fun-loving 23 year old.  He
had so many close friends.  He was funny
and the life of the party.  We miss him!  He
was a wonderful son, loving brother and
good friend to many.  

He always loved all animals which is why
we chose the RISPCA as the benefactor of
this race.   We had many cats  and dogs
while Mikey was little, some of them
found, some of them adopted from the
shelter.  He loved them all.  He would
save any animal that needed his help.  

Mikey was killed by a hit and run driver,
that to this day, has not been found.  This
person hit him and left him to die on
Tollgate Road in Warwick, Rhode Island
on August 2, 2008.  There is a reward for
information on the accident.
Shared memories can be a source of comfort and joy.  Mikey lives on in our
thoughts and prayers and in the vivid memories of the things that he taught us.
Please help us honor his memory by donating and joining us at the first annual
Memorial Russo 5k.
