Russell "Rusty" Leonard Aubrey

Russell "Rusty" Leonard Aubrey, 55, passed away on Thursday, October 5, 2023, in Jeffersonville, Indiana. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky on July 10, 1968, to Jo Ann Aubrey and the late Delmus Aubrey. Rusty was a remarkable man whose memory will forever be cherished. He was a devoted husband, a loving dad, a cherished son, a cherished brother, and a steadfast friend. His love knew no bounds. Rusty had a heart that overflowed with affection not only for his family and friends but also for his four-legged companions. He always dreamed of starting a dog park and shelter, where tails wagged freely and dogs had room to run. Rusty had an unwavering love for his faith and country, and he lived his life with those values at the forefront. Rusty was a culinary virtuoso, known for his exceptional cooking and grilling skills. He brought joy to countless family gatherings, making every meal an unforgettable experience. His love for the outdoors was evident as he spent serene moments listening to music while the birds sang their melodies. Driving around in his pickup truck, with a Diet Mountain Dew Polar Pop in hand, Rusty embraced life's simple pleasures. He cheered passionately for the IU Hoosiers and had an eclectic taste in music, from John Denver to James Taylor and The Eagles. Rusty will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Rusty is preceded in death by his father, Delmus Aubrey; and his sister, Julie Aubrey.

Left to cherish his memory, Rusty is survived by his devoted wife of 31 years, Laura Aubrey; his 2 beloved daughters, Catherine Aubrey Cypert (Brad) and Liz Aubrey (Hannah Froman); his mother, Jo Ann Spalding; his 3 siblings, Gary Aubrey (Crystal), Kelley Anderson, and Robin Aubrey; his faithful companion, Ollie; and his four cherished grand dogs, Luna, Shrimp, Fern, and Tuna; and a host of extended family and close friends.
