Name: Bateman Carroll Funeral Home
Address: Gresham, OR

Randy... I missed your call that day in July and didn't know until yesterday what a loss that actually was. 
We rode the bus together all our school days. I remember being lost in my fifth grade girl thoughts and you, a bright and silly third grader hanging over the back of your seat trying to talk to me about my very non-Gresham, Oregon name.  I was mostly impatient and dismissive but you never disregarded me.  
You heard my deepest growing pains and shared your wisdom to help me thru places I thought I could die of... You were younger, but wise beyond your years.
And after I left my family, you looked after my sisters, eventually facilitating reconnection and amazing healing. We are ever blessed by your intervention(s).
You and she made great pals and are closer, but you always adored me most.  
Thanks for being such a perfect brother.
You'll always be with me, until we meet again.

Thanks for all the great memories,experiences and Outlooks on life .we will all miss you Randy...

Lois & family.  Shirl & Anne Jackson contacted us and told of Randy's passing. . .We remember the "good old days" when our kids were small and we were all part of the Gresham First Ward Family.  We send out best wishes to you and if you come to Logan, please look us up.  I'm pretty well home bound; however, Marilyn is still on the run.       May Heavenly Father bless your family, 
Sincerely,  Sherman Beck & Family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Randy's family and friends at this time of grieving.  We wish we would have known him better, but know he made a significant mark on the world. Until we meet again---Gary (cousin) and Diane Evans Spackman

A sweet kind man that will always be in my heart

Randy,
My amazing and adventurous friend from our childhood days. You shined on the people in your life and brought them much happiness with your caring and playful nature. The world truly has lost a very special jewel of a man and I will miss you greatly the rest of my life..

Randy was a wonderful brother and will be missed by my entire family. My children all loved their uncle Randy.

Wishing Randy and his family and friends peace and solace. Randy cut my hair for almost five years -- best hair dresser ever. Generous and funny and kind. Heartbroken. Sending love.

I first met Randy when he was a colorist at Hickox.  I followed him as he moved around PDX, missing his skills when he was gone.   He was a gifted stylist.  We also shared a love of birding, exchanging fun stories and good places to view them.  But most of all, I'll remember him for his kindness when my daughter died in '97.  He was a genuinely caring human being.

Thank you Randy for being who you were! You brightened up everyones' life and made the world a little bit better. Although you were on the other side of the world the past 4 years, you still managed to put a smile on my face every time we had a chat. We were always talking about meeting up somewhere. I wish we had. What a gift to have known you. Thank you again. Lots of love my friend

May your soul be at peace Randy.  Go plant your infinite seed. Blessings to those who wonder why the light went out so soon.

Randy by far was the coolest cat I've ever known.  I wish I had half the charisma as he did and still does.  You rocked it so right on every single day with little to no effort.  Huge void dude.  Huge.

Oh Randy. You were an amazing human being. I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to know you and love you. You will be deeply missed...today and always. I love you my friend. May you rest well. I hope to see you again one day and laugh like we used to.

My friend since 1986. A brave and independent man who lived his life on his own terms. We miss you so much already and will always remember you and the times we had. Love you Randy.

We loved Randy as our own when he came to visit our home, which he did often as a middle school and high school student.  He was gracious and especially respectful of my wife and family. We extend our love to Lois and Kirk. Sorry we did  not know the sisters, but extend condolences to all family members and friends at this time of loss for all of us. shirl and anne jackson and family.

Randy was a wonder! He lived with passion and generosity in love and friendship. He was loved and made people feel adored, special, beautiful.  This was his gift and I am one of the many lucky ones to have received it. Shine on, my friend.
