Randy Erwin was born on December 5, 1963 in Fort Worth, Texas to J.R. and Ruth Anne Erwin. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1983 and served through 1992 as a turbine engine technician and flight test inspector. Randy was stationed in Germany, where he met his wife Monika. They were married in 1985 and over the next six years welcomed their three daughters into their home. They relocated from Germany, to Washington, and back to Randy’s home state of Texas, where he and his wife lived until his passing.

Randy was the go-to expert in the Metroplex for inspections and repairs on small aircraft. He was a decades-long employee of Airbus/American Eurocopter. When he was not elbow deep in an airplane engine, he could be found cruising the Caribbean with his wife or cheering on his local sports team (go Rangers!).
