Randy Nielsen

Randy was my playmate for the years at the family house on 16th SW where we would play catch-up in the lower pasture. We´d wrastle (a term we coined) because it would all start with him tickling me and I would wriggle out of his holds with sudden skill and giggles. Yes, he was a softy, all heart and . Memories of Randy will always bring me smiles.

What a beautifully written tribute to a beautiful soul. My Uncle Randy was always quick to smile, offer a hug and love unconditionally. He will truly be missed.

Randy was my older brother, 16 years older at that. He joked to me about what a big shock it was as a 16 year old learning your mom was having a baby. I bet it was. He loved animals and boy did he have many. I remember two different pot belly pigs that he built homes outside for. I remember a miniature Donkey who sometimes came in his house and I remember two goats, beep and bop. He brought our mom the famous cat Ling. She was the spiciest cat in the entire world. Michele said recently he was taking care of a semi feral cat and built her a heated home for the winter, with Seahawk lights. I moved away from WA and we didn't see each other as much as we would have liked. I'll always remember his guitar playing, his laughs and his hugs. I'll always miss them too.
