Randy A. MacArthur, 55, of Manchester, NH passed away peacefully on November 15th, 2024 at Tufts Medical Center in Boston Massachusetts. Born in Tucson, AZ on June 2nd, 1969, he was a son of Albert E. MacArthur Sr., and Rita MacArthur. He was the father of Randy A. MacArthur, Jr. and Brandon MacArthur.

Randy was raised in Manchester, NH and was a proud graduate of Memorial High School. His entrepreneurial spirit and love of the outdoors led him to own and operate multiple local businesses, including a few firearm and hunting supply stores. Randy was known by the community as a proud patriot and a staunch advocate for Second Amendment rights.

Randy loved life in all its forms—whether that meant taking a leisurely ride on his Harley-Davidson, hunting in the woods with close friends, or enjoying a cold drink and a good laugh with anyone lucky enough to be in his company. He found joy in the simple things, but it was his family and friends that truly made his life complete

He is survived by his sons, Randy A. MacArthur, Jr. (Emily Poole) of Pittsfield, NH and Brandon MacArthur of Candia, NH; his parents, Albert E. MacArthur Sr. and Rita MacArthur; his brother, Albert E. MacArthur, Jr. and sister in-law Linda MacArthur all of Manchester, NH; his fiancée, Jessica Call, who brought joy and love to his life in his final days. Randy’s family meant everything to him. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, good times shared together, and a life lived on his own terms.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Tufts Medical Center for their care and compassion during his final days.

A celebration of Randy’s life will be announced at a later date, and all will be welcome to join in remembering a man who truly lived life to the fullest.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Liberty House, a cause close to Randy’s heart.

Rest easy, Randy. You lived a full life, and you left this world a little brighter for everyone who knew you. Your legacy will live on in the hearts of all those you loved—and who loved you right back.
