Randy was born June 1, 1963 in Albert Lea to Roger and Suzanne (Jensen) Holty. Before he graduated, Randy spent some time as a cook for the Canton Café.

On August 24, 2013, he was united in marriage to Lori Malepsy at Trinity Lutheran Church, Albert Lea.

Randy and Lori looked forward to their evening, scenic drives together around the parks and lakes. Randy loved spending time with his family. When his children were young, he would take them camping and would sneak them on the motorcycle to pop wheelies in the driveway. Randy and his dad bonded over their fishing trips to Milaca and to South Dakota.

Known as the “Candy Crush King”, Randy was always trying to help his friends get past the level they were stuck on. He had a fondness for fast cars and all things with chrome. Randy also liked heading down to Diamond Joe’s to try and be the big winner.

Randy was known for putting great time and effort into buying thoughtful and unique gifts to every person. He was a kind-hearted and loving soul. Randy was the type that would give you the shirt off his back and expect nothing in return.

Randy is survived by his loving wife, Lori; parents, Roger and Suzanne; daughters, Raechel Raverty and Tabetha (Luke) Andersen; grandchildren, Marshall, Maddux and Mikko; siblings, Becky (Scott) Ferch, Mardell (Ordean) Oyer, Cheryl (Jeff) Erickson and Patricia (Marc) Loge; he will also be missed by many other loving extended family and friends.
