Craig Russom

On January 25, 2026, the world lost a beloved son, father, brother, and friend, Craig Charles Russom. Born on January 16, 1980, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Craig's journey took him to Paragould, where he lived and nurtured his passions.

Craig was a talented electrician who devoted several years to the trade industry, illuminating the lives of those around him through his skill and dedication. He was not only a craftsman by trade but also a creator at heart. Craig found joy in tinkering, a pursuit that resulted in unique inventions, such as a fan attached to his cap to provide relief from the heat and experiments with converting water to gas. His creative spirit extended to glasswork, where he skillfully utilized a torch to fashion unique glass sculptures, showcasing his artistic flair.

Above all, Craig cherished the moments spent with his family. He delighted in playing video games, creating treasured memories, particularly with his children. As a devoted father to his children, Craig instilled in them a sense of wonder and exploration, encouraging them to pursue their interests with enthusiasm.

Craig is survived by his loving parents, Tammy and Terry Russom; his children, Issac Russom, Ashley (Nathan) Russom, Alexis Warren, Blayden Proffitt, Xander Hearn, and Cianna Jewell Russom; his brother, Jason (Jessica) Russom; and several nephews and nieces. Each of his family members will carry forward the indelible mark he left on their lives. Craig is preceded in death by his bride, Chelsea Hearn Russom.

A visitation will be Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 3-4 PM at Heath Funeral Home. The funeral will begin at 4 PM with Pastor Danny Partlow officiating.
