Stephen Wayne Randall, 74, a beloved and devoted husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, April 16, 2026.
Steve was born on November 27, 1951, in Midland, Michigan, to the late Lloyd Wayne Randall and Rosemary (French) Randall.
He was a graduate of Midland High School in 1969. He proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps, enlisting in 1972 and achieving the rank of Corporal. During his service, he earned multiple badges and medals, reflecting his dedication, discipline, and commitment. Steve retired from Dow Corning Corporation for many years as a Journeyman Electrician.
On April 30, 1976, he married the love of his life, Rebecca Marie Nelson. Together, they built a life rooted in love, family, and unwavering support. Steve took great pride in building the family home where they have lived since 1982-a place filled with decades of memories. Rebecca survives him, along with their two daughters, whom he cherished deeply: Amy Linnae (Nate) Krzysiak of Troy, Ohio, and Lorie Kaye Randall of Muskegon, Michigan. He is also survived by his siblings: Karen (Doug) Mills of Midland; Susan (Tom) Pretzer of Hemlock; and Michael Randall of South Carolina. He leaves behind several nieces and nephews, as well as three step-grandchildren who will remember him fondly.
Steve was preceded in death by his sisters, Annie Potts and Barbara Poulos; his brother-in-law, Daniel Poulos; and his beloved grandparents, Steve and Mariann French-especially his grandfather, whom he regarded as his hero.
A proud member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, Steve carried a deep appreciation for his heritage throughout his life. He loved his family with his whole heart and was never happier than when surrounded by those he loved.
Steve had a passion for life and a wide range of interests. He was an avid fast-pitch softball player and enjoyed basketball. One of his greatest joys was coaching his daughters in softball for many years. In the late 1980s, he fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a licensed pilot. He also found joy in riding motorcycles, fishing, and spending time outdoors.
Above all, Steve will be remembered for his love, strength, and quick-witted humor, as well as the deep and lasting bond he shared with his family. His wife and daughters adored him and will carry his memory in their hearts always.
Cremation has taken place with O'Laughlin Funeral Home, Inc., in Coleman, Michigan. A private family ceremony will be held at a later date.
