Russell Belding

Glennville,
Russell David Belding, 52, went home to be with His Lord and Savior on Saturday morning, December 2, 2017 after a more than two year battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). He spent his last days in his home surrounded by his family.
Russell was a lifelong resident of Glennville, Georgia and lived in the Mendes community for the past 22 years.
Russell was born on October 23, 1965, to Murphy "Murt" and Brenda Belding. He grew up with one brother and two sisters- Murphy, Mary and Elizabeth and preceded in death in 1987 by his father Murphy "Murt" Belding. In 1990, Russell married Angela Smith from Reidsville, and they have three children- Ashlyn, Haden and Evan.
Russell graduated in 1983 from Pinewood Christian Academy where he was a talented member of the varsity football and baseball teams. He went on to earn his bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Southern Polytechnic State University. Following graduation, he began his career with the Georgia Department of Transportation. In 1991, he began a 26-year career with Valmont-Newmark International, where he became General Manager of the Hagan branch. Evident in his years of service, Russell was more than proud to be a member of the Valmont family.
Russell was not only a charter member of Cornerstone Bible Church, he remained a loyal member and strong leader. He served as an Elder, Sunday School teacher, Chairman of the Elders, and Chairman of the board. Cornerstone Bible Church was where he fostered his faith and growth in the Lord which allowed him to become the Godly example and spiritual leader of his household.
