Randal W. Landwehr

Marathon - Randal W. Landwehr, 62, died Tuesday, September 4, 2018 in Rothschild, WI while acting as a Good Samaritan.

Randy was born February 2nd, 1956 in Wausau, WI in the backseat of a Ford, the second of seven children. He graduated from Marathon High School in 1974. He and Sally married, beginning their life together in a home they built on the family homestead.

Randy had a smile for everyone. As an over-the-road driver for over 35 years, his friendships spanned from coast to coast. He was also the proud owner of a tarp repair business, boasting frequently of his ability to "mend-straight". He had a heart of gold, and never hesitated to lend a hand, or an ear, to someone who needed him. He was truly the best of men.

Randy enjoyed spending time with family and friends, especially with his children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Whether it was "Upa North" in St. Germain, vacationing with close friends Kenny and Kathy, hunting with the boys in Tripoli or Wyoming, or catching up with everyone he knew at the Marathon Fun Days, you could count on him to mention: retirement with Grandma, the countdown to retirement, his beautiful new camper and flip flops, pop tops, white sand beaches and palm trees.

The loss of Randy leaves a gaping hole in the lives of those who love him. He will be greatly missed by his wife of 43 years, Sally (Vondrasek) Landwehr. He is further survived by his father, Roger (Juanita) Landwehr of Marathon; four brothers Greg (Joan) Landwehr, Marathon; Lorell (Julie) Landwehr, Marathon; Ken Landwehr, Marathon; and Rick Landwehr, Marathon; two sisters, Louann (Mark) Witucki, Marathon; and Lori (Allan) Stieber, Yuma, AZ. Randy also has three children; Kim Tallitsch (Keith Vardon), Kurt (Mandy) Landwehr, and Ryan (Kim) Landwehr. Thirteen grandkids called him grandpa, not including all of Sally's daycare families to be touched by his life over the years.

He was proceeded in death by his mother, Marjorie Landwehr and by father and mother-in-law,Rudy & Alida Vondrasek.

The family wishes to thank everyone in the community for the outpouring of love and support, including B&K Trucking and first responders and officers of the Marathon County Sheriff's Department and Wisconsin State Patrol.

Visitation will be Friday, September 7 from 4:00pm - 8:00pm at Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, 3400 Stewart Avenue, Wausau, WI 54401 and again on Saturday, September 8 from 9:30am - 11:00 am until the time of services at St. Mark's Lutheran Church, 600 Stevens Drive, Wausau, WI 54401. There will be a luncheon at the Church to follow.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the family for future donation to a charity of their choice.

I only met Randy a few times. He was either picking up material or dropping off the trailer at my work, Custom Steel Inc. but he was always genuine and nice to talk to. My condolences to his family and to everyone affected by this tragedy. Gone Too Soon!

God gained an amazing angel. I went to HS with Randy. We became really good friends and did alot of fun things together. Even back then he was a kind hearted soul who enjoyed life. Rest in eternal peace my friend. See you on the flip side.
