Norwalk

Randall "Randy" Rodney Sawyer, 66, of Norwalk, and formerly of Brunswick, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at his residence Sunday, March 29, 2026.

He was born to Ralph and Helen Sawyer, the first of four children, February 12, 1960, at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, a US Army base where Ralph was stationed in service to his country. "Randall" meaning "shield-wolf", a warrior with a shield, was more than perfect for this man who dedicated his life to the protection of others. Randall was ready for anything, at any time and could fix anything that came up. The family knew he gave lessons to MacGyver over the years. Randall was a God-loving American Patriot, an Ohio Oath Keeper, Milan Boy Scout leader, gun enthusiast, outdoorsman and served many dedicated years as a firefighter and EMT with the Brunswick Hills Township Fire Department. He was known to don a Big Red Jacket, boots and a white beard to assist Santa Claus by putting smiles on everyone's face he encountered. Randall's love of teaching and youth activities kept his life fulfilled. He was a walking, talking, survivalist encyclopedia. He had every knife, gadget, flashlight and medical supply known to man. He was a man larger than life and adored his many nieces and nephews.

He is survived by his mother, Helen (Kollar) Sawyer of Norwalk; siblings, Rustin (Coleen) Sawyer of Brunswick, Robin (Allen) Davis of Huron, and Ryan (April) Sawyer of Norwalk.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ralph Sawyer, in 2022.
