In August of 2024, we said goodbye to Randall Toop—only 23 years old, yet someone whose light, laughter and kindness left an impact far beyond his years. He had a way of making people feel seen, heard and loved—a rare gift that we will always cherish.

Randall had a smile that could light up the darkest room. He was kind, full of laughter and had a way of making everyone feel welcome. He especially adored his nephew Kayce—their bond was pure joy to witness.

Randall leaves behind a family who loves him deeply: his father Dean, mother Nadine, sisters Blaire and Brooke, brother-in-law Kian and his cherished nephew Kayce. Along with countless friends and extended family, we mourn the loss of a beautiful soul gone too soon.

Randall lost his life to depression—a silent struggle that far too many face alone. By sharing his story, we hope to remind others that they are never truly alone and that reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you or someone you know is struggling, please know that help is out there. Speak to someone. You matter.

We will forever miss Randall’s light, but we will carry it forward in his memory—by loving a little deeper, listening a little closer and being there for each other.

Rest easy, Randall. You are so loved.
