Randy " cool breeze" Lovell. I love you more that words can ever say. You knew though, I know you did, and you will always knew how much you were loved by me. I wish more than anything, that I could smile at you and feel the love you return by your own....We were friends at Lees McRae and you came home with me several times during the holidays when you couldn't go home. I'm so sorry that I didn't keep in touch during the years to follow, but I never forgot you. I found myself looking year after year for you. There was always a void without you....+ You are the best Randy..I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH...

Kasady had the pleasure of meeting you two years ago while we were operating my taxi....She always said "Let's go by the Hogsbreath and see Randy!" You always supplied us with tea or diet cokes, I even remember you paying for our food...when we hadn't made any money yet. These things...and all the fun we had working at "Chan's" are memories I will cherish the rest of my life. I remember when you got busy slammin out drinks, how you would stick your tongue out to the side, funny!!!Cute!!!
I'll never forget how you made me smile and you always had a way of making people feel special!!

Kisses!!!

Reading all the entries in this guest book makes Randy come alive in my mind. I think thats what it should do! Being in my 50's and with my brother's close call (knocking on Heaven's door) over the holidays makes this loss even greater. We have to learn to live each day to the fullest. Randy did that! He sorta reminded me of Charlie on "2 and 1/2 men"- I mean that in a good way! The fun loving batchelor and how he interacts with his nephew (trying to pick up his teacher!)....you know what I mean. This guest book should be a source of comfort to the family. Randy was loved by many! No more pain and suffering in Heaven. I pray for all of the loved ones left behind....it is your pain now. God is Good and will comfort you. Rest in Peace, Randy!

When Randy asked "what's happening?" he was truly interested. He loved everyone and made everyone feel loved. Certainly, everyone that knew him loved him; there were no strangers to Randy, so that's a pretty big fan club.
We had some great times and some great laughs back at Dellwood. He was the only person I knew that could ski better than me, and he could ski a lot better. He was also a really good foosball player, but I don't think he was better than me. :)
Man, I really hate that his life was cut so short. One thing is for sure, if it is true that wealth can be measured by how many friends you have then Randy was a very rich man. He would give you the shirt off of his back.
The Bible tells us that when we die Jesus will ask if we fed someone when they were hungry, or gave a blanket to someone who was cold or visited someone who was sick or in jail. For if you help anyone in need, you helped Jesus Himself and He will know you. If you did not help someone in need, you turned your back on Jesus and He will not know you. When Randy answers these questions, his answer will be yes.
If we let Him, God can use everything in this life for His glory and the good of His children. I pray that this is the case here and that the tragedy of Randy's early passing can be turned into a blessing or door of opportunity for the good of someone else.
My prayers and thoughts are with Randy's family and friends.

How very special you have always been to all of us remembering birthdays, etc., with cards and flowers which made you part of events when you couldn't be present. Your loving spirit toward each one made all of us feel like a "favorite". You are missed so much and there will always be an ache in our hearts but a smile, too, as we remember those precious 55 years of your life.

Randy, ever since I can remember, you were the cool cousin. I always looked up to you and thought you were the coolest person in the world. I know I didn't get to spend as much time with you as some, but these last couple years have been awesome. Going out on the boat with you, Jimmy, and Luke, eating at O'Charleys. just hanging at the house. having some drinks while you were bartending, you always had great advice, and even now I am following the words you told me last. I love you man, and will always miss you and think about you, until we see eachother again...

Dear Randy,
This is so hard for me to do. I can't believe you are no longer here with us. You have always been such a special person to me and I feel so blessed to have had you as MY cousin. My eyes fill up with tears and my heart hurts to know that I will not see you at our Holiday get togethers and any other visitations that occur.I will miss those words you spoke. "Loveya", "How the hell are ya?" and always "your favorite cousin" It helps me to know that you are now with God and that grandmommie and Ganggang are holding you in there arms again and that one day we will all b e reunited again. You take care and help God to watch over us. I love you more than you ever realized and it will be very hard for me to think of you without tears welling up in my eyes. I guess i might be a little selfish in wishing you were still here but I know that God has a purpose for you in heaven.
Thank yoy for always being there for me in all my trying times.
I love ya! and you will always be my "favorite cousin".

My dearest brother, & a great Uncle to your Nephews Cody & Dylan - I will never forget (or let them)the boys waking you up 9am, after you closing on Saturday Night(sun 4am)to have you shave there heads like yours. What great pictures those are. Man they loved you - and still do!
I will miss bringing them down to see you. God know I miss you - I know that you are in good hands.
In talking with Cody & Dylan of what a special person you are - That you would give the shirt off your back for someone,and that you had. Cody reminded me that you were trying to pick that waitess up! LOL
We all have wonderful memories of you, your charm, your love for life, animals, the water, friends & us your

Hey Randy. I don't want to get all down again...done that enough already. There's too many great memories between us I can try to dwell on instead - and for that I'm thankful and blessed. There's a few things I meant to tell you - even though you prob'ly already knew most of them. Thank you for being the greatest cousin. Thank you for being a part of my life for all these years. Thank you for loving your kid cousin and always making me feel included when I was around. Thank you for teaching me to water ski. Thank you for showing me the wild-side (I'll leave it at that) on occasions and showing me how to not get caught (most times). Thank you for being the big brother I didn't have. Thank you for all those letters you wrote me when I was overseas or away from home. Thank you for being my buddy and always being there. I'm going to miss you not coming over and being able to call you up and always hearing you tell me "I love ya!"...but that'll always be etched in my heart. I know you're with God in a better place. Not sure why He wanted to take you there now, but I know I'll see you again one day. Till then, thanks for being you and being in my life...thanks for being "the breeze"!
I love ya too man!
Your favorite cuzin,
Dave

It is surreal that Randy is no longer with us physically and I can no longer hear his voice saying, "Aunt Mary Claire, How the hell are you!" Randy was a loving and gentle light in in my life and his Uncle Adrian's life with always a smile,strong hug,and kiss for his aunt and uncle. He always signed his correspondence to us as "Your Favorite Nephew". Not discounting any others, he was the closest to us. He was always a part of our family gatherings and we will always treasure those memories and photographs of loving times. My comfort is that sweet Randy is no longer suffering and that he is in a better place with those he loved who have gone on before. It was so comforting to see and meet the several hundred people who came to honor Randy at his wake. It was so very obvious how much he was loved and appreciated. I shall always miss you, Honey. With love, Aunt Mary Claire (Uncle Adrian, too)

Dearest Randy! I never hear a 70's era Rod Stewart that I don't think giddy thoughts of spending time with the Lovells in Odessa. Thank you for being a "brother" to Rick when he needed family so much! Love ya.

My dear, sweet, Favorite Cousin. The tears begin once again, as I try to wrap my head around the reality that you're gone. The sadness and tremendous loss of one very special, laid-back cousin with a heart of gold. Your smile would brighten a room, and your infamous greeting of, "How the hell are ya?" made everyone feel loved and welcomed. You ALWAYS gave THE BEST hugs and a big kiss one the cheek each time I saw ya. Oh!! And the memories of watching you ski like a professional,w/skis, a kneeboard or barefoot. OMG. You were amazing to watch! There aren't enough words to express how much I loved you. And thank you for all of the many hand-me-down t-shirts and football jersey's. I only wish I had kept them now, to accompany the many, many fond memories I have of you.
Gosh, we're going to miss you so much!

I was shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Randy's passing. I was lucky enough to have worked with him for several years at J.J. Higgins in Tampa, FL. I met Randy about 20 years ago and will never forget him. He called me "Donna Iguana." I don't know why, but I thought it was cute! We had many laughs with our good friends and co-workers over the years and kept in touch all this time. I will miss him forever and am sad I will never hear him say "How the hell are ya?" again. God bless his family. My thoughts and prayers are with all who loved him. Love you buddy!!!

This makes my heart sad. Randy was one of the kindest people I have ever known. I was lucky enough to spend many hours chatting with him and playing with Jackson. My prayers go out to everyone whose life was touched by Randy, which I am sure are endless. You will be deeply missed, friend!
