He spent his early childhood in Fargo, ND, then moved with this family to Naytahwaush at the age of six. He attended school in both Naytahwaush and Mahnomen, MN. Randy later studied carpentry at Detroit Lakes Vocational School. He was a gifted mechanic and handyman. Randy was often found helping others repair cars and lawnmowers as well as tinkering on household items. He could fix anything. Randy was in a long term relationship with Carrie Kier and to this couple three children were born: Brandi, Randy Jr, and Dusty.
