Randy Joe Rhonemus
1955-2023

We are saddened to announce the passing of our Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Son, Brother, Uncle, Cousin and Friend.

Randy astounded the Mayo’s medical community with his Strength, his Bravery and his Determination and positive attitude. Cancer DID NOT win ….Complications from medications prescribed on an ER visit caused his untimely passing.

Randy passed away peacefully at his Florida home with his wife of 43 years by his side.

Randy was an avid Fisherman, outdoorsman, gardener, a builder and a Jack of all trades. He was a storyteller, He loved being around nature and was always on the water when ever given the chance. He enjoyed spending time with his family and teaching his Grandchildren how to grow their own gardens, how to Fish and how to cheat at cards. LOL

He enjoyed History, a good Debate, He loved Jesus, his country and was baptized by Phil Robertson. Randy loved BIG and if you were lucky enough to be one of the few he allowed to be part of his life, I would consider yourself blessed. ❤
