I have had the pleasure to have known Randy for the past 10 years. I am not aware of a more caring, giving, and selfless man. He was always available to anyone who needed help or assistance. Many times he commented on his passion to provide care to the patients at Avera McKennan and he moved mountains when he needed to provide assistance. I feel greatly blessed too have known him and appreciate the effect he has had on my life.
Randy will be missed, but we are all better people for knowing him!

I have known Randy for many years. We talked everyday we seen each other. He would always say " Hey buddy". Randy was a very hard worker and never would say no. He would just do it. So Buddy....I will miss you. The hallways of Avera will NOT be the same without you. Fly high. RIP Randy

I am so sorry to hear of Randy. Wishing the family peace and strength during this time. I got to know Randy while at work. Randy was so kind and friendly to all. He put others first before himself. Randy never said no, he always helped PACU get whatever equipment we needed for the patients. I’m so glad I got to know Randy for many years. A great guy. RIP

I was a RN at McKennan and Randy was always cheerful and helpful! If I needed a certain supply he would hand deliver it. Even when I knew he didn’t feel well he never complained. He certainly lived the Avera beliefs! He will be missed My prayers and sympathy to his family.
