Jay Randall Addington
Jay Randall "Randy" Addington, 72, of Muncie, IN, formerly of Redkey, IN, passed away September 13, 2024, peacefully while in the company of family members at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, IN. Randy was born on April 19, 1952, a son of the late Betty J. (Chalk) and J. Wendell Addington. He was a 1970 graduate of Redkey High School and went on to proudly serve his country in the Army National Guard. Randy was co-owner of Addington Farm Equipment, owner, driver and mechanic for Addington Racing, member of the Gasser's Club, and helped with the family farm in his early years. Randy was a hard working, passionate and stubbornly independent man who was gifted in all things mechanical. He loved antique cars, fishing at his pond, snowmobile trips, going to the Daytona 500 every year, watching Dale Earnhardt, basking in the beauty of a black corvette, and going to MCL or for Chinese food with his friends. He is survived by 3 children; Jennifer Weddle (Charles), Debi Lane, Jeff Addington, 4 siblings; Brian Addington (Pat), Jone Snider (Robin), Nancy Bach (Lloyd), 5 grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and an infant sister Connie Jean Addington. Services are private at the convenience of the family with burial to follow in Hillcrest Cemetery in Redkey, IN. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Foundation. Arrangements are entrusted to MJS Mortuaries - Redkey Chapel.
