Dear friends and family,

My name is Samantha Porter, and I am one of Randy's three children. It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of Randy's unexpected passing while he was out of state. We are all completely devastated by this sudden loss.

We are now faced with the significant and unforeseen expense of bringing him home. To help alleviate some of this financial burden during this incredibly difficult time, we have made the decision to have him cremated. We are currently making arrangements for this. We also plan to hold a celebration of life in the future to honor and remember him. We will keep you all updated as to when this will happen, as we truly hope you will be able to join us and share your good memories of how he touched your life.

In the meantime, we are reaching out to ask if you might be able to provide any donation to help with these immediate costs associated with bringing him home. We understand that financial contributions are not always possible, and in those cases, we would greatly appreciate your prayers as we navigate this incredibly tragic time. Randy touched so many of our lives in meaningful ways, and while we find some comfort in knowing he is now at peace, we are all left to grieve his loss deeply. We also extend our deepest sympathies to all of you who considered Randy a part of your life. We can only hope that he has found the peace he deserves.

Thank you so much for your support, understanding, and love during this incredibly difficult time.

Sincerely,

Samantha Porter
