Randell "Randy" Robert Hoerauf, a proud Marine and dedicated public servant, passed away on August 23, 2025, in Shelby Township, Michigan, at the age of 76. Born on February 11, 1949, Randy's life was marked by service, love, and a deep devotion to his family. He was a graduate of Shrine High School in Royal Oak, Michigan, and Ferris State University.
A veteran of the Vietnam War, Randy served with honor in the United States Marine Corps, a commitment that defined his courageous and steadfast character. Following his military service, he continued his mission to protect and serve his community as a Macomb County Sheriff's Deputy, a position he held for 25 years.
Beyond his professional life, Randy's greatest joys were found at home. He was a passionate fan of Michigan football and loved to entertain his grandchildren, Gabe and Audrey. He is survived by his beloved wife, Pamela; his son, Robert (Paulette); and his cherished grandchildren. He also leaves behind his brother, Rodney; his sister-in-law, Beth; his nieces, Allyson (Mike) and Kim (Kellie); his nephew, Thomas; his great-nephews, Elliot and Emmett; and numerous other relatives. Randy was predeceased by his mother, Dawn; his father, Robert; and his brother, Allan.

Randy would stand in front of the mirror for High School football games in uniform trying to make himself look bigger. Not too large in stature but a giant in determination !
