Timothy James Russell

It is with deep sorrow that we share the sudden passing of Timothy James Russell, who died peacefully on November 4, 2026. He was dearly loved by his family and friends.

A 1981 graduate of Bangor High School, Tim went on to study HVAC and business at Eastern Maine Technical College, skills that served him well for more than twenty years as the owner of XL Air. Away from work, he was happiest outdoors, camping and spending time with the people and pets he loved most. Above all, Tim was known for his kindness.

He was a proud and guiding father to his son, Chad Russell of Bangor; a loving son to Arthur and Lyn Hammond of Bangor; and a cherished brother to Kim Walls of Orrington and Tracy Hammond of Sierra Madre, CA. He was also a generous friend to many, and he will be profoundly missed.

A memorial service will be announced in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Tim's memory to the Bangor Humane Society. https://www.bangorhumane.org/donate/making-your-gift/
