Randal (Randy) Sheppard Repichowski, born February 27, 1953 passed away on November 14, 2025. Randy was born in Lansing, Michigan but his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1955. Growing up, Randy and his family all had the unique ability to ride unicycles and this fact still amazes people to this day. Randy graduated from Del Norte High School in 1971 and his professional career was spent in various Sales positions including in the tooling and automotive industries.
Randy was known for his deep love of animals, particularly dogs and black bears. Over the past decade, he found great fulfillment in rescuing dogs from shelters, providing them with a loving home. He cherished the companionship of his furry friends and often shared great moments with them, bringing joy not just to himself but to those around him.
In addition to his passion for animals, Randy had a creative flair that he expressed in various ways. Some of his hobbies have included candle making and creating video tributes celebrating loved ones, special events, and various meaningful causes. Notably, he crafted heartfelt birthday videos for his grandchildren in their early years, capturing their milestones and creating lasting memories that the family will treasure forever. Randy was an avid NASCAR fan, especially Bill Elliot. Randy had accumulated quite an impressive NASCAR collection over the years.
He is survived by his son, Brandon Repichowski, daughter-in-law Rachel Repichowski, granddaughter Hayleigh Repichowski, grandson Dylan Repichowski, brother Jeff Repichowski, longtime partner Jackie Burrell, and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Randy's presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew him, both in person and his vast number of online friends and communities.

Visitation will be from 11 - 11:30 am, funeral service from 11:30 to 12:30 pm and a reception to follow at French's University Reception Center and concluding with a graveside service at Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery at 3:00 PM.
