He is the beloved husband of Deborah Wiemers Rusk for 44 years, loving father of Jason (Tracy Steilberg) and Justin, and proud grandfather of Kylie Rusk. He was born on August 15, 1950, in Clinton, La., to the late Helen Dunaway and Thomas J. Rusk, Jr., and is survived by his dear stepmother, Patsy Sanders Rusk, and his mother-in-law, Mary Nicosia Wiemers. He is survived by his four brothers, Steve, Richard, David and Lynn Rusk, and sister Wanda "Sue" Jeter, as well as his devoted nieces, Ashly Collins Guillot (married to G. Michael Guillot), Stephanie N. Collins, and Shaw Lynn Douglas. He was the owner of Rusk A/C & Heating, and will be forever remembered for his passion for helping his customers. Special thanks to AmeriCare Hospice, as well as nieces Stephanie and Ashly for all the care and support they showed, but more importantly to John and Kim Duvieilh, whose friendship and compassion can never be measured.
