Randy Krudop

In Loving Memory of Randy James Krudop

It is with profound love and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Randy James Krudop, age 53, on July 9th, surrounded by the unwavering embrace of his wife, daughter, family, and cherished friends.

Randy's life was a vibrant tapestry of joy, laughter, and devotion. His greatest joy came from spending time with the love of his life, Felicia, whom he met in February of 2007. Their love blossomed into a lasting partnership, and in September of 2015, they sealed that bond in marriage.

A proud father to his daughter Taylor Nelson, Randy embraced fatherhood with compassion and pride, celebrating Taylor’s strength as a mother to three amazing boys. Later in life, Randy earned the title of “Papa,” a role he wore with honor and delight. He adored his grandchildren—Steel (10), Slate (7), and Noxx (4)—and cherished every moment spent with them.

He was smitten with his loyal companion Charlie, a dog he loved fiercely and unconditionally.

As the youngest sibling, Randy relished every moment with his brothers and sisters, delivering good-natured mischief with a heart full of love. He had a knack for turning laughter into a language all his own.

Randy was a loyal friend with a rare gift—he treated friendship as family, and those closest to him always knew where they stood: in his heart. With an impressive career in technology, Randy brought creativity and determination to everything he touched. He found joy in sports, rhythm in music, and purpose in every connection he made.

Randy was preceded in death by his father Gerold Leroy Krudop, his step-mother Leah Pack, and his brother Roger Pyfer.

He is survived by his beloved wife Felicia Krudop, devoted dog Charlie, his daughter Taylor Nelson and son-in-law Chaz Nelson, his treasured grandchildren Steel, Slate, and Noxx, his loving mother Claudeen Hill, his cherished siblings, and many lifelong friends.

Randy's legacy is one of generosity, humor, and unwavering devotion. His spirit lives on in every story shared, every song played, and every life he touched.
