Randy was preceded in death by his parents, Jacob E and Edna Gloria (nee Hofer) Stahl, his brother Maurice (Maury) Stahl, infant sister, Nancy Carol and brother-in-law Howard (Hob) Brezee. Randy was born September 14, 1949 in Huron, South Dakota to Jacob and Edna Stahl. He grew up in Huron as the youngest of five children. His family enjoyed many summer vacations tent camping in the Black Hills of South Dakota in and around the Sylvan Lake area. Randy attended elementary and middle school in Huron and graduated from Huron High School in 1967. After high school he attended Huron College for two and one half years where he was a music major. In January 1970, Randy left Huron to attend Bethany Fellowship Missionary Training Institute (now Bethany Global University) in Bloomington, MN. While living at Bethany, Randy completed his college degree in Organizational Studies in 1991 at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN. During his time at Bethany, he did an internship in Puerto Rico as well as held positions that included involvement in the manufacturing and sales of Bethany camping trailers, lefse plates and printing and publishing of Christian books by Bethany House Publishers. Randy met Deborah (Debbie) Carroll when she came as a student from California to Bethany in 1977. She and Randy began dating in May 1978 and became engaged in March of 1979. Debbie graduated from Bethany on June 1, 1980 and they married five days later on June 6, 1980. Their honeymoon was spent traveling to several Bethany Fellowship locations visiting missionary friends and Debbie's classmates which included Nassau, Bahamas, St. Thomas Virgin Islands, Santo Domingo, Miami, Florida and Mexico City. Debbie became a staff member at Bethany Fellowship where they both remained on staff until 1991. In June of 1991, Randy and Debbie left Bethany Fellowship and moved into an apartment in Bloomington. Randy was hired at IDS/American Express Financial Advisors (AEFA) as a Customer Service Client Representative. In 1995 Randy became a Project Manager/Internal Consultant on the Product Report Team where he managed financial print and mailings and design projects for internal business partners of AEFA. His division was later sold in 2002 and became Cenveo. AEFA was sold in 2005 and became Ameriprise Financial. Randy successfully continued his position at Cenveo in Project Management, Sourcing, and Account Managing for design, print, mail and fulfillment for his client Ameriprise Financial until his retirement in 2015. In 1992, Randy and Debbie purchased a townhome in Eden Prairie and began attending Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie. They became members of Wooddale in 1995. Randy loved music and he joyfully used his vocal abilities by becoming a member of the Wooddale Choir. He also participated in several of the Wooddale Men's Bible Studies. Both Randy and Debbie worked on Wednesday evenings at the ticket desk assisting with the purchase of tickets for events/classes/studies. In 2019, Randy and Debbie sold their townhome in Eden Prairie and moved into Applewood Pointe of Eagan, MN, a cooperative senior living community. There Randy and Debbie made many new friends and helped to plan some of the social activities such as the July 4th celebration and Veterans Day. Randy was an integral part of the Men's Bible Study group and was often the one who was asking men who lived in the cooperative to join the study. With his servant heart and love for the Lord, Randy was a true friend and passionate in his willingness to help others and especially many of the residents at Applewood Pointe. Randy and Debbie traveled to various locations throughout their marriage to attend gospel music concerts with their favorite singing group being Legacy Five. The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island was a yearly vacation destination they both enjoyed. Randy's warm smile and sense of humor will be greatly missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. A Celebration of Life service will be held at Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, MN at 11 AM, Tuesday, July 18, 2023.
