Russ Lenox Obituary (1960 - 2026)

Jerome Russell "Russ" Lenox, known fondly as Russ by his friends and family, walked on to the next stage on June 26, 2026, at the age of 66. Born in Elmira, NY, USA, on June 6, 1960, he spent his formative years in Lagrange GA, Sharpsburg, GA, and Athens, GA. Russ was an absolute character, with a heart as big as his personality. He was a resident of Hapeville, Georgia, where he lived for the past five years. Russ, a paralegal by trade, had been in the legal field for 20 years. However, he was known by many for his spectacular hairdos, both as a hairstylist at Ulta and as the owner of his own salon. Russ was as good a musician as he was a hairstylist. His voice, which brought joy to his church congregation, was a source of comfort and inspiration for many. He was also a man of deep faith, adhering to the teachings of the Methodist Church. As it is said in Psalm 95:1, "Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation." Russ lived these words, sharing his joy and faith through song. His love for music was only surpassed by his love for his family. He is survived by his brother, Mark Lenox and sister Karen Walburn. He joins in eternal rest his parents, Gerald and Monta Lenox. In the wake of Russ's departure, we encourage all who knew him to keep his spirit alive. Share your memories, stories, and photos of Russ on his memorial page. Let's remember Russ for his love of life, his passion for music, his unique hairstyles, and his unwavering faith. Let's keep singing his song.
