Also left to mourn his passing - June Horsman, Paul (Cheryl) Deren and their families, Donna (Richard) Jasper and their families, Bill Deren, Linda (Barry) Deren and their daughter, Delmar (Virginia) Deren and their families, Joy (Brian Mass) Langford, his Aunty Marge, cousins Debbie (Lyle) Posehn, Linda (Peter) Bandorf, Lori (Darryl) Urzsulan and their families, his stepsisters Shelley (Al) McLean and their daughter, Naomi Olynyk, step brother Michael (Diane) Olynyk and their family, plus his many other friends and relatives.

He was predeceased by his grandparents John and Dora Olynyk and Hyland and Minnie Cochrane, stepfather Ed Czemeres, Lil’s parents Andrew and Jennie Deren, brother-in-law Graham Langford and his beloved cat, Clyde.

Randy spent his working career in the trucking industry starting with Atomic Transport then Jays freight division and ended with Sodas. It was here that he made many lifelong wonderful friends.

Randy liked camping, golfing and cheering on the Regina Thunder and Saskatchewan Roughriders. Here too, he made many lifelong friends who will truly miss his kind and gentle nature.

After his well-deserved retirement, Randy had no greater passion than spending his evenings and weekends watching his grandkids perform at the rink, the ball diamonds, and the football fields.

For those not able to attend in person a live stream will be available.

Randy had a soft spot for animals, so in lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Regina Humane Society in Randy’s name.
