Randal German, born on October 22, 1970, passed away on September 30, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of faith, devotion, and love that touched everyone who knew him.
He was a devoted husband to Susan German and a loving father to Samuel German, Nathaniel German, Dusty German, Kyle German, and Deborah German. He was also a proud grandfather to numerous grandchildren, and his family brought him great joy throughout his life. He is survived by his mother, Sandy; his brothers, Rodney German, Richie German, his step-brother Michael German and his sister, Percilla Alley; and numerous nieces and nephews who will cherish his memory. He was surrounded throughout his life by a large and loving family, and he valued each relationship deeply.
Randal made his living as a Master Craftsman with Clark’s Flooring, where he was known for his strong work ethic, dependability, and commitment to doing every job with care. He took pride in honest work and in providing for those he loved. His hands were skilled, and his character was steady, and those who worked alongside him knew they could count on him. He approached his work with the same sincerity and perseverance that he brought to every other part of his life.
Faith was the foundation of Randal’s life. He loved God, cherished his family, and held his church close to his heart. For 10 years, he served as an ordained minister of missions at Restoration Church, where he dedicated himself to helping others and sharing the message of hope. He was also a part of Celebrate Recovery, where he found fellowship and purpose in walking alongside others through life’s struggles. His service to the church was not simply an activity, but a calling that reflected the depth of his belief and the compassion he carried for people in need.
Randal’s life was also marked by joy, adventure, and the simple pleasures that made him smile. He loved riding motorcycles, and the freedom of the open road was something he truly enjoyed. He also loved dancing with his kids, creating memories that his children will carry with them always. One of the most meaningful chapters of his life began when he met his wife on a mission trip in Uganda in 2018, a special connection that became part of his beautiful story and a testament to the way faith guided his path.
Those who knew Randal will remember his warm spirit, his devotion to his loved ones, and the strength of his convictions. He lived with purpose and with a heart for others. He was a man who believed in the importance of family, the power of faith, and the value of serving others with humility and love. His presence brought comfort, his laughter brought joy, and his example left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Randal German will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife, children, grandchildren, mother, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, church family, friends, and all whose lives were enriched by his kindness and steadfast spirit. His memory will remain a blessing, and the love he shared will continue to live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
