Russell “Rusty” Thompson Herring, 64, passed away May 26, 2010 in Houston, Texas after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Rusty was born April 4, 1946 in Shreveport, Louisiana to Charles and Dorothy (Thompson) Herring. He attended Westberry High School in Houston, TX and went on to graduate from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX. He spent many years working in the dairy business for Bordens and Oak Farms and spent the past 14 years as an inspector in the construction business.
He is survived by 2 children, Tyler Herring of Dallas and Kristin Bryan and husband Brett of Humble along with 2 wonderful grandsons, Cy and Keaton Bryan. He is preceded in death by his father, Charles Herring, mother Dorothy Thompson Herring and brother Charles Herring.
Rusty was an avid sports fan and would talk LSU football with any interested person. He was a proud and active member of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity chapter from SFA and was loved and supported by his brothers to the end. Quick-witted and fun loving, he was kind and generous, adored by his family and grandchildren and loved by countless friends. He passed away peacefully, by God’s grace, surrounded by his family and friends.
Our family would like to give special thanks to Rusty’s Phi Delta Theta brothers for their continuous love and support.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 2:00 PM at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church (717 Sage Road - Houston, TX - 77056).

Rusty, my Big Brother in the spring of 1966, was a model Phi both within the Chapter as well as on campus.
He left us way to early! The Teas ETA Chapter misses him dearly.
Always YITB -

Rusty and I became close friends our freshman year then pledged together. He was a fun person to be around and a positive person. I truly valued our friendship. His presence is no more but his memory is alive in all that knew him.

Rusty was one of the first Phi's I met and a big reason I pledged Phi Delta Theta.
I can still visualize that great smile.

I always liked Rusty, a fellow Houstonian. He always had a smile and was always ready to do whatever!.I got to know him when I was a holdover pledge in the spring of '64 (I think). Sad to hear of his death.
