Randy Soukup Obituary
Randy W. Soukup, 66, passed away Tuesday, January 6, 2026 in Wichita, KS surrounded by his family. He was born January 14, 1959 in Ellsworth, KS to Edward, Jr. and Ann (Schulz) Soukup. Randy was a longtime resident of Ellsworth and Kanopolis where he was the bridge foreman for the Ellsworth County Road and Bridge Department. After retiring, he later went to work at the Ellsworth County Landfill, a fitting job as he always had an eye for turning junk into beautiful works of art.

Randy is survived by his wife Shelby of Kanopolis; brother Ron Soukup of Ellsworth; sister Crystal Munoz of Kanopolis; and parents-in-law, Larry and Jeanie Sheridan of Holyrood. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother-in-law Nick Munoz; and sister-in-law Susan Soukup.
