Randy will always be remembered for his big "cheezy" smile. Randy was vibrant, sweet, and so caring. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He was like a shooting star - one in a million. A simple beaming light; who silently, but gracefully expressed beliefs and exhibited dreams into people's lives. He left impressions on people. He gave people hope, even if it was for a second. Though Randy's time on this earth was short, his memories will live on with all of us forever. He will truly be missed.
