Russell Allen DeNina, age 58, of Tomball, passed away peacefully in his sleep on the 22nd of of April 2020.

Russell was born in Houston, Texas, on March 6, 1962, to Frank and Ruthie DeNina. He attended Westchester High School, moved to Tomball, and graduated from Tomball High School. In 1985, Russell had one of his grand ideas (he was always thinking) to buy a dump truck and start hauling dirt. With the purchase of a single dump truck, his dream of starting his own business became a reality and RAC Materials was formed. He worked tirelessly everyday for the last 35 years to make it a successful enterprise.

Although he loved working, his true focus has always been the well-being and support of his family. He was a member of the Tomball Chamber of Commerce, was devoted to serving his community, and helping out in any way.

Russell is survived by his daughter, Tiffany DeNina; his son, Clint Bruney and wife Megan; his parents, Frank and Ruthie DeNina; his brother, Aubrey DeNina; his sisters, Cheryl Nimtz and Lisa Hymel; his grandchildren, Gia Cordova, Niko DeNina, and Braxton Bruney; and his nieces, Lauren, Ashley, and Brooke Hymel, and Hunter Nimtz. Russell was especially fond of his special and loving relationship with Christine Howland. He is also survived by numerous additional relatives and friends.

All of his survivors will miss the sparks Russell always provided and sincerely hope that the angels are prepared for the fireworks.

A Funeral Mass and celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the ASPCA.
