MAUSTON - With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Randy Lee Tyler, age 76, of Mauston, on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024, at Agrace HospiceCare, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on June 12, 1948, in Richland Center, Randy was the son of Raymond and Phyllis (Nelson) Tyler. Randy raised three wonderful sons, Josh, Jeremy and Jake, who were his pride and joy. On July 2, 2005, he married Linda (Kathy) Tyler, who he loved dearly, at Church of God in Reedsburg.

A graduate of Wonewoc-Center High School in 1966, Randy went on to serve his country with honor in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War, on the Destroyer USS Richard B. Anderson. His commitment to service continued as he dedicated 25 years to the Juneau County Sheriff's Department as Lead Detective. Randy's contributions extended beyond his career; he was a respected Life Member of the VFW Post 2114, Mauston American Legion Post 81, the Vietnam Veterans Association, and the Disabled American Veterans (DAV).

Randy’s greatest joy was his family. He found immense happiness in attending his granddaughter's sporting events and cherished his FaceTime moments with his grandson in Washington, DC. His unwavering love and devotion will remain a guiding light for his children and grandchildren.

Randy is survived by his beloved wife, Linda (Kathryn); his sons, Joshua (Kristen) Tyler, Jeremy (Heather) Tyler and Jacob Tyler; stepchildren, Christopher Summy and Michelle (Mike) Bogdanovic; his precious grandchildren, Grace, Lane, Blakely and Jack Tyler; and his brothers, Robert (Sandy) Tyler and Richard Tyler. He was preceded in death by his parents; and his sister-in-law, Sharon Tyler.
