Regional Sales Manager — Holiday House Distributing
Richie Russell spent a decade at Holiday House Distributing growing into one of the most trusted and respected Regional Sales Managers in our industry. His customers didn’t just do business with him, they looked forward to seeing him. His colleagues didn’t just work alongside him, they were better for it.
He was 27 years old. He is survived by his Mom and Dad, Barbara & Rich, sister Meagan, brother and sister-in-law Jimmy & Aly, his partner Cheyenne, his daughter Winry, and the extended HHD family he helped build.
He will be deeply, genuinely missed.

The Russell family has been deeply moved by the extraordinary support shown by friends, colleagues, customers, vendors and partners throughout the industry. The kind words, messages, memories and gestures of support shared during this difficult time have meant more than can be expressed. There is no way to fully repay that kindness, but please know how sincerely grateful the family is to everyone who reached out, stood beside them and helped honor Richie’s life and legacy.
