Russell D. Batson, 82, of Seaford, DE, formerly of Chalfont, PA, passed away on June 12, 2026. A devoted husband, loving father, and steadfast friend, Russ will be remembered for his warm heart, generous spirit, and unwavering dedication to the people he loved.

Russ is survived by his beloved wife, Joanne (née Gallagher), whom he adored and to whose care he devoted himself with faithful love and devotion. He was the proud father of Scott (Jen), Todd (Sindi), and Julie (Dave), and the cherished grandfather of five grandchildren: Will, Tommy, CeCe, Olivia, and Colin. His family was the center of his life. 

He celebrated their milestones, stood by them through life's challenges, and never missed an opportunity to tell them how proud he was. Known for always being there to lend a helping hand, Russ was the neighbor you could count on and the friend who always showed up. Whether fixing something that needed repair, offering a ride, or quietly supporting someone in need, he gave of himself without fanfare and always with a ready smile.
