Vander Bloemen, Russell Mark "Mark Turner"
Russell Mark Vander Bloemen, 35, was born to eternal life on July 4, 2009. Russell was born on November 5, 1973, son of Dick and Barb (Thiele) Vander Bloemen in Kaukauna. Russell was raised on the family farm on County Road D in Greenleaf, WI. He spent his whole life there, straying to Appleton and Green Bay for a few short stays but always returning to his roots and his family. Russell had a great love of all animals but his cats Jonny and Dylan had a special place in his heart. Russell attended grade school in Kaukauna and graduated from Kaukauna High School, class of 1992. He went on to further his education at the University of Wisconsin, Fox Valley Campus in Menasha. While attending classes there, he decided to pursue his love of music and started his career, both full time and part time, as a radio disc jockey. Over the years he was employed by WOZZ, where he started his career, and WIXX where he was currently employed as a weekend DJ. Russell's love of music also saw him pursue a career as a DJ for weddings, anniversaries, proms, homecomings and various school functions. He was currently employed at Elite Music Service. In the past he was also employed by CDJ and Fortune Talent.
Russell is survived by his parents, Dick and Barb, Greenleaf; four brothers and a sister, Rick (Pam), Little Chute; Robert "Teddy", Kaukauna; Rayne (Kevin) Vosters, Nichols; Randy (Sue), Kaukauna and Reed (Ann), Kaukauna; nieces and nephews, Candace, Eric, Spencer, Tyler, Haley, and Mathew; great nieces and nephews, Destiny, Carter, Derek Jr., and Anna.
