April 13, 1959 - June 11, 2026 The world lost a bright light on June 11, 2026, with the passing of Randy Johnson Sr. at the age of 67. Born in Moose Lake, Minnesota, on April 13, 1959, Randy brought joy and laughter to everyone he met with his loving and outgoing personality. His sudden departure, while engaged in one of his greatest passions—tinkering with small engines—reminds us that he left this world doing what he loved most. Randy was the cherished son of Anita and Morris Johnson, who instilled in him the values of hard work and dedication. He spent the majority of his life working at the family sawmill, a testament to his commitment and love for his family heritage. Randy's skills extended well beyond the sawmill, as he was known as a great handyman, always ready to lend a helping hand to friends and neighbors in need. On June 23, 1982, Randy married the love of his life, Stacy Lewandowski. Their enduring partnership was a beacon of love and support, and together they built a family filled with laughter, warmth, and kindness. Randy's legacy continues through his children and his four beloved grandchildren, who will forever hold dear the lessons and love he imparted. Beyond his professional life, Randy found true joy in his hobbies. Tinkering with small engines was more than a pastime; it was an expression of his creativity and meticulous nature. Whether it was fixing a neighbor's lawnmower or teaching his grandchildren the intricacies of engine mechanics, Randy's passion was infectious. Those who knew Randy will remember him as a man of remarkable character, whose heart was as vast as his knowledge of engines. His steadfast optimism and generosity touched many lives, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know him. A celebration of Randy's life will take place on June 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the family home located at 440 County Road 8, Bena, Minnesota, 56626. In the comforting embrace of the place he called home, family and friends will gather to share stories and honor the remarkable life Randy led. The family shares this special message: "Forever in our hearts." As we bid farewell to Randy, let us remember the joy he shared, the love he spread, and the happiness he brought into our lives. His spirit will continue to inspire and guide us, as we hold him in our hearts forever.
