Our Jamestown, New Mexico group received some sad news yesterday. One of our friends, Russell Azbill, was found deceased near his home's front porch. He either died yesterday morning or yesterday night.
He may have been heading to his main outer gate to retrieve a package when stricken and was turning back to go back into the house when he fell.
Another friend, who was to take him to a doctor appointment was trying to reach him by phone. He went to Russell's home where he found his body on the ground just inside an inner gate at the house.

We last saw Russell on Tuesday at our regular coffee gathering at Denny's at the Flying J. He was in good spirits and said he was feeling pretty good. He had several medical issues and had a heart attack a few months ago, which he seemed to have recovered from.
Russell was a writer, a racecar enthusiast and interested in UFOs, Bigfoot and other paranormal topics. He and I regularly swapped UFO and Bigfoot stories on Messenger. He last sent me a text on Messenger October 6 on Funny Car Acronyms. He has one published book, Darkest Hour. He was working on another book at the time of his death.
He is survived by two brothers and his dogs, Watson and Derek. He will be missed.

Rest in Peace my friend. Roxy and I were grateful for our friendship. Prayers and condolences to your family and friends.
My friend and I have not been able to contact Russ for a month. We are both former grade school and lifelong friends. Sad to hear of his passing.
