I have numerous fond memories of Randy. He was a friend of a friend at first but then became my friend as well. He was a kind soul with a big heart, a great laugh and wonderful sense of humor (if not a bit twisted). He adored being a Grandpa, always sharing the latest pictures of his grandson on his iphone.
My prayers and thoughts to his family and friends during this time. He will be sorely missed by those who knew him.
Randy what a terrific guy. Will miss him so much. He was a great true friend to everyone he knew. Love you Randy, RIP.

I met Randy about 20 yrs. ago and when we both found out we were fellow highway worker’s a bond was formed. When we would run into each other both of us always had a story to tell rather it be KDOT or KTA and have a good laugh . Gonna miss ya brother ! R.I.P.
Uncle Randy you are gone from us all to soon. I will miss you dearly! My prayers are with your family.
I knew Randy best as a little girl. Some of my earliest memories was of running back forth from Uncle Dennis and Aunt Kim’s to Aunt Teresa and Uncle Randy’s. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family and friends that will miss him dearly.
