Randall Fox Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

A lifelong resident of Joliet, Illinois, Randall "Randy" Fox passed away unexpectedly at home, Friday evening, July 25, 2025, at the age of 67.
He was born on September 15, 1957, to the late Frances and Glen Fox and graduated from Plainfield High School.
Randy is survived by his wife, Lorrie (Barker) Fox; son, Ramie Fox; daughter, Jeannine (Landon) Sayler; grandchildren, Ethan and Ryder Fox, and Rowyn and Brynn Sayler.
In addition to his parents, he is also preceded in death by his half sister, Barb Collins.
Randy most recently worked at Mace Iron Works. He enjoyed camping, traveling, and especially, hitting the open road on his motorcycle.
As a member of the Grand Kankakee Trail Riders, Randy thoroughly enjoyed off road motorcycle racing, as well as drag racing. He and his longtime friend, Billy Baer, were the primaries of Baer and Fox racing.
Known as "Mr. Wizard", he will be remembered for his quick answers on most any topic and his ability to figure out just about anything.
As it was Randy's request, cremation rites have been accorded. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, September 14, 2025, by his family. The time and location are pending and will be announced within the next following weeks.
For more information, please call (815) 741-5500 or visit his Memorial Tribute at www.fredcdames.com, where you can share a favorite memory or leave a condolence.

My deepest condolences to Lori and your family. Randy was a very dear friend and kind person. I was lucky to know Randy since childhood. Our parents were true friends and his maternal grandparents were involved in my childhood. I was so lucky to know him and even luckier to have him introduce my future husband to me. Randy will be missed.
