MRA
Wed Jan 11th, 2012, 09:05 AM
It is with a very heavy heart that we must report to you all this morning that young Spencer Russell #143 died last night.
Spencer joined the MRA in 2011 as an up-and-coming competitor in the 250 Cup Series and was a fresh and smiling face in the paddock. His competitive spirit and wonderful personality was a perfect fit in our organization. He will be dearly missed by all...
Additional details regarding funeral arrangements will be posted as we know them. We want to be sure not to overwhelm his family with our presence at his service, so please wait for information from us before making plans to attend.
**Update
The service will be on Saturday, January 21st at 10am at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Wheat Ridge:
4500 Wadsworth Boulevard
Wheat Ridge, Colorado 80033
(303) 423-5654

The family welcomes the MRA members and friends to attend the service. Because of the large numbers expected, please plan to arrive early to park, etc.
The family has requested that you please "do not" send flowers to the service as they will not be able to find a home for all of them and they will go to waste.
In lieu of flowers, you may prefer to donate to the Spencer Russell Memorial Fund which is in the process of being set up at Compass Bank. This fund will help the family with the costs of the service and other things associated with the loss of their son.
Details regarding the fund will be posted up as soon as we have them.
Thanks Everyone
