Randy, I am going to miss you! You taught me so much in the short amount of time that we knew each other. I will never forget you, ever. Don't worry, I will always, on my break, get those headlights polished!

Remembering when Randy was born brings back a lot of memories of times shared with his family, very precious times for me. May God bring comfort to Randy's family and friends knowing he is resting in the arms of Jesus. Love you all, Patricia (Day) Lucas.

I'm going to miss your delish spaghetti and all of our barbecue's at the pool, Uncle Randy. Thank you for always lending an ear when I needed it, no matter what time or how busy you were. You were one amazing guy. Love you tons and tons! Until we meet again. :]

My heart is sad, I am still in disbelief, as so many family members
and friends are. Randy had a profound
impact on my life, one that only a brother could have, he will always be
so close to my heart. He was a clone of Dad Tidball and a pillar for the Old
Bonney Lake Clan. He never forgot anyone, never hated anyone and carried
more laughter and memories than anyone I know. Even tho his voice is stilled to us, he watches over everyone...he is in a better place. I hope and pray to see him there one day. We love you brother.....Jodine and Paul

Randy, I'm saddened by your passing. You alway had some kind of project you needed my help with at your parent house. You knew I wasn't much for sitting around and needed to stay busy. I never got the chance to tell you how much I enjoyed the BBQs and pool parties. I'm going to miss that.

Randy, my friend & auto detail mentor. We had many great times at Fugate & you taught me so much about detailing. You did a great job as I opened my own detail business & would always take the time to give me good business advise. No matter the time between seeing each other, we could pick up right where we left off - that's a true friend. We will miss you & you'll be in our hearts forever.

Randy, you are highly missed by all. You touched so many lives. Glad we grew up together and I have such fond memories of our old days. I still remember the first time we met and the halloween partys, just parties, the get togethers at your mom and dad's. I am glad we just saw you recently, with your great smile and your happy laugh. My heart goes out to your family. We will meet again. Debbie and Mike

Remembering so many good times, like showing up at camp with watermelons, when you learned how to do a "burn out" in your nova, think you went through a whole set of tires that summer alone! And of course your awesome halloween parties. Randy, you'll hold a special place in our hearts forever, until we're racing side by side again, rest in peace dear friend.

Hey Randy, yes you were older than me! but when we were in grade school I was always taller than you. I would use that to my advantage more than once, as I'm sure you would remember! Everyone thought we were twins, we were both toe headed and inseparable. If someone said or did anything to hurt you, I was right there to take them down, and you did the same for me. Oh I know we had our differences and didn't agree on everything. None of that mattered to us in the end because we knew we were family. On my way to work you were the person I would call. I sure miss that. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to tell you how much you meant to me, and I got to hear how much you loved me. I will cherish these words for now because I know we will see each other again and have many more loving memories. All my love to you my wonderful, loving Brother. Your little Sis

Today I heard of my friend Randy's passing. I have know Randy since I was 16 when he hired me to work for him in his detailing shop. He taught me to be a responsible employee, work hard and have fun while doing the job. Although we only saw each other in when we ran into each other at the store or when I stopped by the shop it was like time stood still and we would pick up our conversation where we left off. Randy you were a great person and I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your world and I will never forget you my friend!

I am a better person just for knowing you. My thoughts and prayers go out to your kids, Stephanie and the rest of your family. Until we meet again......

I am so sorry to hear of Randy's passing. We had many good laughs down in Sumner at the detailing shop. Though I worked on his books I remember once he needed me to help him take a car back to Fugate Ford and all the way up there the alarm was going off and I didn't have the faintest idea of how to shut it off. Who ever would have thought all I had to do was push a button on the key. He just thought it was the funniest thing ever!
