He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Randy attended Templeview Elementary, Central Junior High School and graduated from Skyline High School.

Randy was an unforgettable character, brilliant, funny and so smart it was impossible to keep up with him, He was a trivia genius, and knew everything there was to know about Pop Music. He spent hours researching anything about music, artists, composers, you name it, he knew it. He had a photographic memory about many topics. He could read and spell anything from age three.

He became interested in radio at a young age, and that was his lifelong passion. He was a radio personality for many years. He worked in Idaho Falls, Wyoming,Utah and North Dakota.

One of his goals was to visit all 50 states, he didn't achieve that, but he did quite a bit of traveling and did visit many states, which he really enjoyed. He loved the Olive Garden and ate there whenever he had a chance.

We will miss his unique sense of humor. Also, we miss having him around to give us information about a number of things. Mostly, we'll miss him because we loved him.
