In Loving Memory of Randy Michael Stapleton

May 19, 1956 - October 11, 2023

On October 11, 2023, Randy Michael Stapleton, aged 67, left us on a day that held special significance - his late brother, David's, birthday. We hold onto the hope that they are now playing rounds of golf together in heaven.

Randy is survived by his devoted wife of 40 years, Nancy, who shared a love story that inspired all who knew them. They nurtured a life filled with cherished memories, laughter, and enduring love and faith.

Randy leaves a legacy of love, family, and commitment through his children: Katie (John) Nowak, Alex (Natalie) Stapleton, and David (Christal) Stapleton, He adored his role as Papa to his beloved grandchildren, Bentley, Grayson, Lucas, LJ, Sophie, and Charlotte. He was also beloved by his dog, Buddy, who saved his life on more than one occasion. Randy was loved dearly by his siblings, extended family, nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews.

A man of unwavering faith, Randy's deep faith in God guided his actions and provided strength through life's challenges. He will be missed by many.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Grace Assembly of God's Kid's Ministry (Bel Air, MD), or Stella Maris Hospice (Timonium, MD), honoring Randy's spirit of generosity and compassion.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16

Growing up two doors down from the Stapletons was one of the luckiest things that´s ever happened to me. I´ve known Mr Randy my entire life and can hear him now saying "Hello Cleenie" or "Hello Miss Mouse!" (Based on that nickname I was obviously a shy and quiet little kid, but around the Stapletons I always felt at ease). Over the years less time was spent at home, but on visits I would often see Mr. Randy walking the dog up the street or pulling into the driveway and stop for a quick hello (usually with him reminding me that I should visit home more often!)

I have fond memories of watching Napoleon Dynamite, sharing a cup of tea, and in more recent years attending Christmas Eve midnight mass in Havre de Grace with Mr. Randy and my brother (you know he´s a fun guy to hang out with when going to church at midnight sounds appealing!).

I wish Mr Randy had even more time to make memories with his family and friends... he is already so very missed

This man was such an important of my daily life for almost 20 yrs. He was my boss and one of my best friends. He helped me thru quite a few of life´s tribulations and usually finished everything with a joke or laughs - usually have you laughing at yourself He cared for each and everyone of his employees. I´ve lost touch since COVID and hindsight wish that never happened. Rest easy

One of the best things about living on Courtney Lane was sharing life with "Mr" Randy for over 35 years. Alway positive, upbeat, willing to help, genuine, kind, interested in the lives of all the kids who grew up in the neighborhood ... and of course the most enthusiastic house decorator at every holiday!! Thank you for adding so much to our lives Randy, you´ll be missed in so many ways.
