Howard Randall Obituary
Howard Randall, born on September 4, 1960, left us peacefully on September 19, 2025. Throughout his life, Howard was a beacon of joy, loved by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He was nicknamed Howard the Duck by his brother, his goofy spirit and sense of humor were infectious, making every gathering brighter and every moment spent with him memorable.
Howard had a passion for antique car shows, where he found camaraderie and enjoyment among fellow enthusiasts. He loved being outdoors and had an evert greater love for wrestling. His playful nature and lighthearted approach to life made him a character who could easily bring laughter to any situation.
He is survived by his beloved sisters, Dianne Koreyva, Elizabeth Manness, Ruth Woolf, and Anna Isley, along with his brother, Alva Randell Jr. He leaves behind many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews, all of whom cherished him deeply.
Howard was preceded in death by his parents, Alva and Ida (nee French) Randall, Sr., and his brother, Walter Randall who surely welcomed him with open arms. His legacy of love and laughter will continue to resonate in the lives of those he touched. He will be missed by all who knew him.
