Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and the memories we shared brother. You truly made me feel like I belonged and was loved from the moment I met you until the last time we spoke. I will never forget you and will always hold an immense amount of love for you in my heart. I know you are rocking out and throwin em back with the metal greats! I miss you so much, but I know we will meet again someday. Until then, cheers to all the good times and know I wouldn't be the same without you. I love you brother...always.

Randy, you were always such fun to be around. Cracking jokes, making fun of people and places, and just being a goofball. You were always laughing and smiling every time I saw you. And every time I saw you, you complimented me and made me feel so beautiful and you made me feel like an awesome musician. I'll never forget that. I'll never forget YOU. Love forever brother!

Randy, you will always, always be in my heart. Randy had no acquaintances, because everyone he met became a friend. He was one of the most giving and unselfish people I have ever met, he genuinely cared about helping others.I will miss his silly jokes and sweet spirit.

He was a friend to many and he enjoyed life. He has been taken too soon. May you rest in peace. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends alike.

I met you a few years back at a calender signing at The Exit in Chicago. My cousin Leahs band Catapult The Propaganda was there. We talked and drank a few beers throughout the night. By the time I left I felt like I had a long time friend. We even chatted on messenger off and on the past few years. You are definitely missed by All. R.I.P. Randy. Keep on Rockin

Where do I begin? Well to start, my heart is broken into many pieces over his passing. Randy's enthusiasm for metal and especially local metal bands was the kind of thing that keeps musicians going. He loved your band even if you weren't that good. I learned a lot from hanging out with him when it comes to handling business like a professional, whether it's loading and unloading gear or just networking with other bands and metalheads. "Just walk in like you belong here" will stick with me forever.
Thanks for all the laughs and all the doors you've opened in my life (and showing me Amebix). All this is suddenly hitting me as I type this out, you don't realize how big of an impact someone has had on your life until it's too late. We love you, Randy, keep on rockin wherever you are.
