Russell William Rudy, a resident of New Braunfels, passed away at his home early Saturday morning, July 20, 2024, at the age of 69.

Russell was a high school classmate and very good friend. He served as a manager for our Brazosport Exporter football team while I served as a student trainer giving us many, many hours working together. I was always so impressed by his outstanding career in law enforcement. My sincere condolences to the Rudy family.
Russell was a neighbor and friend in Freeport. We were in the Police Department Explorers together. Football Student Managers together and both spent careers in Law Enforcement. Rest in Peace my brother.
You will be missed by many. You were a great friend.
We pray that you have found rest with the Lord.
Gods’ blessings to you and your family.
Your niece,

He will be missed by all who knew him.
Thanks for always being there and spending time with us as kids growing up. Still remember you chasing us around in the yard as a young cop, teaching us how to play Gin Rummy, etc….always with a smile and laughter. It was very special to have you at my retirement from the USAF five years ago. You will be missed, but you’ll always be in our memories.
Hey Russ, We are sure going to miss you but know your celebrating with family and friends up there. You’ve always been like a little brother to me. And the stories your brother had shared over the years still make us laugh. Him being 12 yrs older than you he pulled some good ones. Telling you that possum meat was Buffalo when you were a wee child and you believing him was a good one.You being the baby brother who always looked up to him made him always feel special. We’re thankful the suffering is over. That was hard! We love you and know you’re looking in on all of us. Tell the folks hi!
Hey Russell,
Your integrity, honesty and good faith abandoned you during my Trial when you lied under oath. God has a plan for you, as he had for me. So sad, that you all have no idea who Russell really is and how evil his testimony was and now as you all ask God to help Russell . . . he lied to God taking that Sworn Oath on May 21, 2002. God takes care of their own and I’ll live another 40 years and Russell, I know you suffered because you were slothly, gluttonous and evil . . . Have a nice day! LMAO because he who has the “last laugh wins!”
