Randall Kapp Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 20 to Dec. 21, 2009.
KAPP, Randall Lee (Kapchinsky) Randall quietly passed away at home in Coquitlam, Sunday, December 13th from pancreatic cancer. Randall was born in Claresholm, Alberta, January 18th, 1955. He grew up in Wetaskiwin, then Edmonton. His new family moved to the Vancouver area in 1996. Randall is survived by his wife Rose and son Stefan as well as his mother Doris, father Adolf, sister Lori and niece Gaylynne. Randall was a true renaissance man. His interests were wide including music, motorbikes, cooking, technology, the outdoors, travel, gardening, the family dogs, construction and art. He was always learning, was generous, had a wicked sense of humour, a mind for facts and dates and was nearly impossible to beat at Scrabble. A celebration of Randall's life will be held sometime in January. Our thanks to all who have been there for his family. Randall will be missed by his many friends, co-workers and family. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in Randall's name to the TriCity Hospice Palliative Care Program (Unit 6, 2601 Lougheed Highway, Coq. V3C 4J2) or to the Canadian Red Cross Medical Equipment Loan Service.

Dear Rose and Stefan

Randall may have left us but we cherish his memory; he was so full of life and humour.... we will never watch another episode of "Little Britain" without feeling his presence and hearing his laugh!

We may not understand why he left so soon but he gave us so many laughs and we have wonderful memories of him arriving after numerous rides on one of his beloved motorcycles, windswept and flushed; coming in to join us for a 'cuppa tea' in his leathers and boots. Bikky our little rescue dog who would not go to men, would jump up and sit next to him without hesitation; we told him that he had an aura surrounding him and she picked up on this!

We will all miss you Randall.

Love Luc and Janet Mortier

So long Randall

You never met a fish you did not like, you never found a motorcycle you would not ride, a path that you did not enjoy to hike, you could never leave a guitar on the shelf and your favorite skillet was always cooking up better-than-any restaurant cuisine.

We are sorry that you had so little time on earth where you gave so much of youself and enjoyed life to the fullest.

Love, Marlene & Eric Baumgartner

Rose and Stefan, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'd only met Randall a few times at the rock show a few years ago, but he seemed like such a great guy. I can tell that he will be greatly missed. We're thinking about you both!

The sense of loss, the heartache and the hurt... ouch!
May the love embrace you and carry on in the memory forever in your hearts. We lost touch with your family over the years and as in each life some people come into our lives for a reason, season or lifetime. Tim enjoyed working the nights at St. City with Randall many years ago. As both you Rose and Randall are full of creative passion. You are remembered in our caring thoughts, prayers and loving kindness. We can't imagine how you and your family are all feeling right now. Please know that our hearts are with you.

Sometimes we are confused about death, but it is only another state of being. Albert Einstein proved that everything is energy. In his theory he insisted energy could not be created nor destroyed; it can only be changed from one state to another. Spirit is Energy. Each of us is spirit and we always were and will be part of the infinite consciousness. Randall’s amazing creative spirit or energy will continue its manifestation.
When I think of Randall, he is the essence of creativity, passion, vibrancy, love, laughter and light that spans all planes of existence. Randall will always be connected in the universe.
Blessings and love to you Rose, Stefan and Family. Take care. With love and hugs,
Sharon-Marie & Tim Mavko (and twins Karl and Marie)

Randall truly was a modern day renaissance man and a good guy in general. I moved to Canada from California 6 years ago and Randall and Rose went out their way to welcome me, offer friendship and even employment opportunities. Randall was my best friend and music making buddy. I will miss him always.
