Michael Rand Obituary

Our dearly beloved Michael Rand, husband, father, grandfather, brother, friend to many and a proud Marine passed away on Tuesday, March 29th at the age of 75.

He is survived by his wife Pattsie to whom he was married for over 53 amazing years. Their legendary romance is eternal through time, space and heaven above. By his daughters Stayce and Stefanie, his son-in-law David, husband to Stayce and their sons, his grandsons, Michael and Christopher. And his sister, Rosemary.

Michael was an absolute icon in the Food services industry for over 40 years and an inspiration to many. He earned multiple awards from the American Culinary Federation. The industry lost a legend.

Michael's larger than life presence will be profoundly missed but we will always know he is with us all, in our hearts forever.

The memorial service to celebrate his life is on the 16th of April. Please email [email protected] for more information.
