Jason Smith and Family

At times like this you are looking for answers. Especially to the question Why?
The problem is that there is no answer that would bring you any consolation right now.

The strength that you need will come from your faith and the prayers and support that you receive from your family and friends.

We all know that Randy was a great cop, but more importantly we know that he was an even greater son, brother, uncle, friend and coach. He will be deeply missed by everyone that knew him.

Larry Powalisz has it right. Randy was intense.

"The Way it is" by Bruce Hornsby. A group of us sang that to Randy our Sr year and he would get a little pissed but definitely played along! "Get a job! That's just the way it is!" As I was looking at his Sr pic the other day this song came on Pandora. I laughed and thanked God for all the good HS memories I have of Randy. There are many! His smile was contagious and and his personality was outstanding.

My deepest sympathies to the family!

Please accept my deepest sympathies on Randy's passing. He is a great individual who I know touched many lives at MPD. He was taken from us too soon and I know will be missed by many.

Randy,

We are here to celebrate your life.
And the measure of its worth.
And every single life you touched.
While you were on this earth.
We wish to pay our last respects.
That's why we all are here.
To thank you for your friendship.
And all the memories we hold dear.
Its been a privilege to have known you.
We were family along with friends.
And we will carry you in spirit.
Until we meet up once again.

Jason and the Smith Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Randy's passing. He was such a kind, respectful, generous, and funny man who enjoyed making others laugh. The passion he carried and displayed during his career as an officer/detective was breathtaking. He will surely be missed for all that he was and all that he gave to others. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and everyone who knew him during this very difficult time.

Always,
