Russell Search Latest Comments No comments to show. May 6 U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS —Governor Albert Bryan Jr. issued the following statement today on the passing of former Senate President Ronald E. Russell, a St. Croix attorney, former legislator, civic advocate, and longtime voice in the public life of the Virgin Islands: “On behalf of the Government of the Virgin Islands and the people of this Territory, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, and loved ones of former Senate President Ronald E. Russell. “Former Senator Russell was a son of St. Croix whose life and work touched many corners of Virgin Islands society. He served our community as an attorney, senator, Senate president, trustee of the Government Employees’ Retirement System, advocate for Frederiksted, and a deeply engaged voice in the civic and cultural life of our Territory. “He was a man of strong conviction, deep community concern, and unmistakable presence. Whether in the courtroom, on the Senate floor, or in the community, Ronald Russell was never a passive observer. He believed in public service, in strong institutions, and in the responsibility of Virgin Islanders to speak up and help shape the future of these islands. “His service in the Legislature included leadership as vice president of the 26th Legislature and president of the 29th Legislature. He brought to that work the perspective of an attorney, the passion of a Crucian, and the confidence of a public servant who understood that democracy requires debate, discipline, and principled engagement. “Beyond elected office, former Senator Russell remained active in matters affecting retirees, government, historic preservation, athletics, cultural memory, and the revitalization of Frederiksted. Through his work with Our Town Frederiksted, he continued to advocate for a town that honors its history while pursuing renewal and opportunity. “Ronald Russell’s passing is a loss for St. Croix and for the Virgin Islands. His was a life lived in the arena, and our Territory is better for the years he gave to public service, the legal profession, and community advocacy. “May his family find comfort in the legacy he leaves behind, and may his soul rest in eternal peace.” ### TAGS No tags CATEGORIES Uncategorized Previous Next Comments are closed © 2026 Government of the United States Virgin Islands.
