Randy Vance Obituary
Randy Eugene Vance, age 64 of Kingman, passed away on Wednesday, May 31, 2023 at Franciscan Health Lafayette. He was born in Crawfordsville on December 8, 1958 to the late Maurice Eugene Vance & Sue R. (Young) Price.
Randy graduated from Carmel High School in 1977 and was an Eagle Scout. Throughout the years he was a mechanic at Carmel Concrete, owned and operated B&R Garage in Brownsburg and Randy's Paint and Body Shop in Avon and he was owner and operator of Randy's Truck Service. He was an adrenaline junkie that always had a need for speed. He loved the water, enjoyed boating, fishing, riding dirt bikes, loved loud Rock and Roll music, gardening, growing giant sunflowers, restoring his 1956 candy apple red Ford F100 truck, but most of all loved spending time with friends and family. As Randy would say, Until next time, Get In, Shut Up, and Hold On. Gotcha!

He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Ronnie Vance; his brother-in-law, Jim "Jimbo" Flowers; his step-father, Barton Price; and nephew, Seth Cornell.
