Randolph "Randy" Lee Thorne

Born in Oak Hill, WV, he was the son of the late Luther and Pauline Nelson Thorne.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Randy Lee; two brothers, Richard and Don; and his grandparents.

Mr. Thorne was a graduate of Fayetteville High School and proudly served his country in the United States Army as a First Sgt, and then enlisting in the Army Reserves. He also worked as a coal mining boss and a mine inspector.

As an avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, mowing grass and being outside swinging on his porch with his faithful dog “Tiny.” He loved life but most of all, his beloved grandchild.

Those left to cherish his memory include his son, Jeremy “Pat” Thorne and wife, Megan; grandchild, Tirion Thorne; two brothers, Robert “Bob” Thorne and Kenneth “Pete” Thorne; two sisters, Martha Brubaker and Susie Wood (Howie) and Hunter, who was very dear to Randy; girlfriend, Connie Midkiff; and a special cousin, Jackie Butler.
