Read MoreI am so sorry to hear that Randy has passed. I went to DHS, rode the same school bus with him, and worked with him at Volvo.
May God comfort his family and friends.

I also attended elementary school and high school with Randy. It is very hard to believe that he has passed away. My condolences to the family.

My condolences to the family. I worked with Randy at Volvo for many years and considered him a friend. I did not know about his death in time for the viewing or service.

I send my condolences to the Rakes family in the loss of Randy. We attended elementary and high school together, and he was a genuinely nice guy. Randy showed his thoughtfulness by coming by my mom's home to visit her when my sister, Robin, passed away ironically on the same date, July 20, six years ago. May God comfort you.
