Randall Erickson Obituary
Randy our beloved husband, Dad, son, brother and friend left us too soon. Taken unexpectedly by cardiac arrest he has returned to live with our Heavenly Father.
He was born July 30, 1963 in Salt Lake City. He married his High School sweetheart, Sabrina, on September 30, 1982. He cherished his four children; Beau, Levi, Brooke and Cassidy, and was so proud of them. His family was his joy, and the center of his world. Randy was an example of the Christ like quality of love thy neighbor as thyself. He had talents and felt they were God given for him to help his fellow men, and gave that selfless service to all he could. He was humble and loving and had a kind word for everyone. He will be greatly missed.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, September 2nd at 11:00 at the LDS Chapel located at 8539 South 2200 West. The family will receive friends on Monday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 at the LDS Church and also an hour prior to the funeral service.

I worked with Randy at FedEx and it was a sad day when he left FedEx for other opportunities. Randy came to work everyday with a smile on his face and the desire to do a good job in his heart. On the occasions that I got to ride along with Randy he always talked about Sabrina and the kids --- they were the center of his life. I have thought about Randy often since he left FedEx --- most usually when I had a piece of yard equipment that did not work correctly and I was in need of a top notch mechanic. Rest in peace Randy as you will always be remembered as a caring and giving person who saw only good in each person you came across. Thank you for your friendship.

I'm so shocked and sorry to hear this awful news. I'm also sad to say, it's been years since I've seen Randy but he was always the picture of health.
Built like Adonis, with his chiseled good looks, it was comical spending time in public with him. While working together, years ago, we'd sometimes go get lunch. The female servers would become so enamored, they'd hardly notice any other patrons in the restaurant. And, of course, Randy was too humble to notice. He seemed oblivious that they were so twitterpated. Then he'd flash that Randy smile, wondering why they couldn't get his order right, which naturally only added to their distress, and further mixing up his order.
He was certainly one of a kind. I've missed our conversations for a while, and now, well... I really wished I'd tried to reconnect sooner. There's clearly a lesson here: If you've got something to say, or otherwise unfinished business, get after it, as none of us is promised tomorrow. My sincerest condolences to the family. Randy was the genuine article and I'm sure going to miss that guy.

From the time he was a baby, he and his sister were my dolls to love and to play with. There never was a more beautiful baby, and we are so deeply saddened by his untimely death. Sabrina, you and the kids are in my prayers. We love your family as we love Randy. He was such a good son to my brother and Karleen.

My Uncle Randy,
A stunning man we will all miss greatly. A hard worker is an understatement. Randy worked hard to support his family and gave all of himself to provide the best for his family. His great smile and charming personality are irreplaceable and will be missed greatly. I"m praying for Sabrina and all of her beautiful children that the Lord will be your comfort in this horrible time of loss. My heart aches to think what your feeling and going through. I love you all, and pray Gods blessings on your life.

My Brother Randy,
The most hard working, loving, motivated man i have ever met.
He takes time out of his busy life to help any one in need at any time.
Family is number one in his book he will be there to support, surprise and cherish moments with you even if it has been way to long since you have got in touch.
Loves god and knows him well , has always been strong when times were tough and reached out a loving hand to others when they needed it the most.
His laugh brings tears to my eyes, its one that causes every one to giggle along.
I will miss the memories of christmas and family parties he planned to keep every one close, playing apples to apples and laughing about the most random things.
I will miss most of all the leadership that he had, being a role model that every one strived to be like.
Thank you so much for your love and advice in life and for being there for me always and forever in my heart.
I love you,
Your sister,
Rachael
