In Memory of Russell T. Rudy August 4, 1958 – February 23, 2025
Born into a family deeply rooted in the oil and gas industry, Russell continued the legacy of his grandfather Manual and father Ellis,
both of whom acquired oil and gas properties across Texas and nationwide. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of the Pacific, with additional studies at the London School of Economics and UC Davis. In 1983, he received
his law degree from the University of Houston and briefly practiced law before founding Russell T. Rudy LCC with his wife, Kathy. Together, they expanded their acquisitions throughout the United States, demonstrating a commitment to fairness and integrity that became the cornerstone of their success.
Russell T. Rudy, 66, a native Texan and lifelong resident of Houston, passed away on Sunday, the 23rd of February 2025. He was a devoted husband, father, and brother, a loyal friend, and a man whose humor and kindness made the world a better place.
Beyond his professional achievements, Russell was known for his generosity and selflessness, always putting others’ needs before his own. He had a passion for collecting antique books, writing fiction, fishing, hunting, and spending time outdoors. His love for adventure was only matched by his unwavering devotion to his family. Russell is survived by his children, Austin Ellis Rudy and Allison Wentworth Rudy; his brother Randall D. Rudy; and his mother, Beverly Diamond Rudy, who will forever cherish his guidance, laughter, and unconditional love. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Katherine Johnson Rudy, and his father, Ellis Rudy, both of whom he deeply loved. Though his absence leaves a profound void, his spirit lives on in the countless memories shared with those who knew him.
