I'm so shocked to see this all, I had no idea of what happened to Randy, last I'd heard from him was when his son and I moved back from Arizona, his son will be deeply up set of the news, my deepest condolences to the family.

There is never an easy way to let someone go that has brought so much life to life. Randy and Monica extended their hearts to help my family. Being one of Monica’s best friends… Randy told Monica that he would help unpack my families moving trucks. Randy extended his love he gave to Monica… to my family. This was the first time I met him in person. He gave his shirt off his back. His love for Monica, Danielle, and Nicole was amazing. I am grateful God let me meet such an amazing charming man. My condolences to the Patula family and Monica Vazquez.

I am so deeply saddened by the loss of my dear and loving friend Randy. He has not only been a great friend, but he has been like a brother to us. He will always hold a very Special place in my heart. Randy was a true friend, one that made you laugh, one that was there to cry on his shoulder, one that would give you the shirt off his own back, along with many many other things. He knew how to have a great time with all those around him, no matter where he was or who he was with. Life was great with him by your side. Now life feels empty, no one can replace such a fun loving guy. I'm missing you terribly my friend :( You were our Best Man at our wedding, and you will always be the best man that came into our lives and touched us so deeply. Randy gave a speech at our wedding, that I will always remember "Weird Love" he called it. Randy heaven got a great one when they got you. I will Love you always and will cherish our friendship and memories we've shared. Although we were really good friends, you were a brother at heart. I Love you my friend, so until we meet again. Here’s to our “Weird Love” Prayers go out to the Patula family

I have no words to describe what I am feeling right now. I knew him when he was in Mexico working for MARS, he used to call me Dan, was there to train us always with that smile of his that made him unique and awesome. I was his translator but, at the end he did not need it because, all that love that we all felt for him made it easy for us to understand him. I just wanted to say that we all miss you. You left a very deep footprint in our lives and our hearts. I love you buddy. You are the greatest.

Ever so saddened to hear the end to such a young life. Monica spoke of him like he was the answer to all her prayers...always filled with such joy, love, and happiness. I can't imagine losing my soul mate...and I know he loved her and her children as his own. God please comfort his family and friends as they learn to heal and live without his presence.

It was a privilege and an honor to have met and be considered a friend to Randy, my deepest condolences to the Patula Family and to Monica. Randy was an amazing person who could light up any room. He had this incredible gift to make those around him be happy. I am blessed to be in Monica, Danielle, and Nicole life, but with Randy it all seemed complete. He truly loved my best friend Monica and adored her girls and they loved and adored him. With that being said, his laugh, his smile, his infectious positive personality will be missed. I know that he is in heaven smiling down on his loved ones. The world has experience a great loss.

Shared by michael spencer on 9/13/2013 5:31 PM

What do u say that has not already been said. Randy was a contagious person his personality was larger than life. I'm the nephew of Lisa and cousin to Hanna, and I could say I had the privilege to know Randy, Randy was the life of every family gathering, he brought laughs and smiles to everyone who was around him. Randy had this remarkable ability to make everyone even if was the first time he met u feel like you knew him forever. There are so many memories that we have, it's hard to talk about just one. All I could say is Randy could always make everyone smile and laugh and now it's our turn to laugh for him. "I wanna rock and roll all night and party everynight" NEVER FORGOTTEN

Where to even begin. This is a hard pill to swallow. So hard to believe! Randy is the father to my little cousin Hanna. I am the niece of Hanna's mom, Alicia. Randy is also the godfather to my son. He was part of our family. We vacationed with him, spent many holidays with his parents, Ed & Donna. We would decorate the tree on Christmas and he would have a story for every ornament & he loved sharing them just as much as we loved to listen. Randy was larger than life! His personality was so alive, so fearless! So much so, that it sometimes got him into trouble. Like the time we were in Alabama for a family wedding and he talked us into daring him to run through the hotel wall. And he did! It was hilarious, until the morning after when my Aunt found out and had to pay for the damages. There was never a dull moment when he was around. We have so many fond memories to share with Hanna. Those memories will live in our hearts forever. He will live in our hearts forever! I don't know how to help my little cousin say goodbye to her father. I can't! We will keep his memory alive until we all meet again. May you forever rest in peace!

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Randy's family and friends. Although it seems a lifetime ago, I have so many wonderful memories of him and he will forever hold a special place in my heart. May his incredible spirit live on in all of your hearts, and may you find comfort in each other and your memories during this difficult time. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.

Shared by kim (cutler) bowman on 9/13/2013 2:16 AM

I worked with Randy at his most recent place of employment. In the short time I knew him, he always managed to keep his upbeat and infectious energy each day. He was wildly hilarious and bright! You couldn't help but feel his happiness. I believe there are angels on earth and Randy was truly one of them. I'm sure he's in a happier place now. Rest In Paradise, RaaaaannnnDY!(Inside Joke)

We were devastated when we heard the news of Randy's passing. Randy was not only a friend but as close to family as can get. He was the life of the party! He was funny, cheerful, crazy and one-of-a-kind. We only knew him a little over 2 years, but it seems like a lifetime. We shared many happy times with him. We will not forget you, Randy! You touched our lives. We offer our deepest sympathy to the whole family and Monica. Rest in peace, buddy.

I have been blessed to have been in a relationship with "My Randy" ( I called him My Randy and he called me "My Monica" ) We felt like two kids when in each others company. I have never laughed so much, been treated so well, and loved another man like My Randy. He taught me so much about unconditional love. I am so happy to have had the time to meet the Patula Family and share in many special Family occasions. Donna and Edward, I will never be able to thank you enough for raising such an upstanding, honorable and good hearted man. Because of how you raised him and the good family he is a part of, I have had the most wonderful year of my life. I will miss him beyond measure. I look forward to reminiscing about Randy as I just can't bring myself to say goodbye just yet and how sorry I am for your immeasurable loss. Love Monica

Randy was one of the greatest guys ever. We meet when I was 17 dated awhile then met again 10 years later. I have fond memories and a ton of pictures. I just dug out our trip to Jamaica. We had nothing but great times he always made me laugh. I'm going to miss him terrible. Im sad he called a little over a year ago and never got a chance to see him. I feel for his family those who knew him best know that he was one is a million. He definately broke the mold. Randy you'll always be in my heart my friend. See you someday again, we always managed too. Love Shari

Uncle Ed, Aunt Donna, Leslie, Rich, Denise, Dan and Families: Words cannot express how heartbroken I am to hear about Randy. When I think of all the laughs we have shared, the things we have done together and the talks we have had, I can't help but smile. He was larger than life, always had a positive attitude and loved all of you beyond description. The void in our hearts that have been left by his absence is immense. May each of you find peace, comfort and strength in the memories of your Son, Brother, and Uncle. May you always be able to hear his laughter in your heart and feel his loving arms of support around you. Know that we are all here for each one of you during this difficult time to pick you up when you are down, to stand beside you in the days ahead and to walk with you down memory lane. The family won't be the same without him. I am sure he is looking down from Heaven on each of us and will forever be our guardian angels. Randy always told me family is forever. We will carry him with us forever in our hearts. We are so deeply sorry for your loss. Love to all of you! Deb, Ryan and Colin
