Randy Harden Obituary
Randy Ray Harden
12/27/1953 - 10/12/2010
Randy Ray Harden, beloved son of Marilyn and Jerry Harden, passed away suddenly on October 12, 2010 at his home in Auburn. Born December 27, 1953 at Oakknoll Naval Hospital in Oakland, Calif. He and his family moved to Roseville in 1965 from South San Francisco.
Randy was the devoted brother to Jeff Harden (Hawaii), sister Kim (Mike) Hagans (Roseville), and sister Shannon Harden. Nieces Jerra and Jalee Hagans. Extended family in Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado and Arizona. Dear friend to Diane Frey (Colorado) and Jack Kenny, his friend and sponsor.
Randy was a diehard Giants fan, loved to detail cars and found great joy in nature, animals, bird watching and Indian artifacts and history. He loved music of all genres (especially the Beatles), western movies, was an avid reader and a proud American. Most of all, he loved his family so.
Randy's contagious smile, bear hugs and caring ways will be missed. He was a friend to all, and was especially close to his AA family. He was preceded in death by his father, Jerry, in 1984.
Private burial graveside services were held at the Roseville Cemetery through Cochrane's Chapel of the Roses.
"God, grant me the strength of eagle's wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there. (Indian Serenity Prayer)

He was a dear friend of mine. The kindest man. He had a heart that was so gentle and real. He was so kind to others and had no negitive in him. We all have our own personal addictions in life that we go threw. And like everyone else he had his and was trying to be free from it. May God be with him always. You are missed and loved very much. Love always your friend Tanya
