Randy shared a special love story with his wife, AnnaBella. The two were introduced through a family connection and began a journey together that took them all the way to Cebu, Philippines, for their honeymoon. Their life together was built on love, companionship, and family.
Randy was a member of Lighthouse Community Church, where his faith was an important part of his life.
