As a young boy, Randy loved being with his family and friends. He played youth soccer, was a Cub Scout and participated in many activities. Randy played soccer throughout high school and continued with Boy Scouts, where he accomplished and achieved his Eagle Scout rank. He lived an Eagle’s Scout’s life by being prepared and doing a good turn daily. Randy always helped others without expecting anything in return.

Randy loved comedy, spending time with family and friends, making them laugh by singing a little song or telling jokes. He was adored by his niece and nephew and took pride in being the fun uncle. Randy was always kind, ready to listen and support his family and friends in any way that he could.

Randy’s heart belonged to his wife, Shannon, and their children, Adrianna and Daniel. Randy was so proud to be a father to Adrianna and Daniel; they truly were everything to him. Randy loved family game night, vacations and special moments together. He loved seeing them grow and become their own people. Randy treasured their conversations and held dear the excitement for their future accomplishments. He was always active in driving to, watching or volunteering for Anna and Daniel’s activities. His favorite moments were the ones spent with them. Randy was the most loving husband and devoted father ever. Randy’s love for Shannon, Anna and Daniel will always carry on. His family was his life.

Though Randy left us too soon, we’ll always remember the way he cared for everyone-his laughter and smile, his endless support and thoughtfulness, his love and his gentle spirit. Randy will be forever loved and missed every single day. He was truly one-of-a-kind, the very best.
