It is with heavy hearts we announce that on January 17, 2022 Randy passed away
due to a lengthy battle with COPD. Just like he dealt with all experiences in life,
Randy managed his illness with strength and grace. He passed away peacefully with
his wife Vicky by his side.
Randy was born in Kamloops and moved to Merritt as a teen, soon after, he began his employment with M L Brown & Sons Logging where he worked as a heavy-duty mechanic until he retired at the age of 62.
Randy had a love for “the bush” and enjoyed spending his spare time outdoors with family and friends snowmobiling, quadding, hunting, fishing and camping. He had a passion for woodworking and spent countless hours creating special pieces for those he loved, from the grand barbie doll house to rocking horses and toy chests; his grandchildren have truly benefited. Their home is full of beautiful pieces that will be treasured for generations.
These past few years Randy spent his time tinkering in his shop and making rounds throughout the community with his best friend Libby at his side. He was referred to as “the guy who could fix anything” and was always there to lend his hand to those in need.
Randy is survived by his wife Vicky. Children; Tammy (Chris), Colleen (Mark). Grandchildren; Rylee, Taylor, Eric, Kira, Jordan, Macie and Chase. Siblings; Geri, Shirley (Dale), Jim (Nancy), Sister in law Gerri and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his son Todd and brothers Leslie and Gilbert.
Special thanks to Dr. Ross & staff, the doctors and nurses at the Nicola Valley Hospital and Merritt Home Care. To Daniel who was always just a phone call away and to all their neighbours who have gone above and beyond during these past few challenging years, you are so appreciated.
