Long-time Brookings resident, Randy Gabbard, passed away on March 6, 2025 at the age of 74.
Randy started Stateline Chimney Sweep in 1982 and owned that until 1998. Then he owned and operated Randy's Pelican Bay Marine 1998-2012, and Randy Gabbard Construction 2012-2022.
He loved boating, motorcross racing, NASCAR and building things. He could fix almost anything. He was a great mechanic, working on cars, boat motors and tractors; but most of all he loved spending time with his wife Barbara.
Redwood Memorial Chapel is assisting the family.
