On Saturday, August 30, 2025, Patti Battle and her son Randall Contreras were in a horrific car accident. Randy survived the accident with no major injuries, but his mother Patti, sadly, passed away. The goal of this Go Fund Me is to raise funds to pay for any funerary or memorial expenses, as well as medical bills or other unexpected expenses that may arise. All proceeds of this Go Fund Me will go to Patti's son, Randy.

Patti was beloved by her friends and family. She loved driving up the coast on her days off, enjoying the ocean and the sun. Patti loved animals of all kinds and they loved her back. But most of all, she loved and lived for her son Randy, the light in her life. Patti will be greatly missed by everyone in her life who loved her.
