Randal Eugene Holmes (56) passed at the family home on Sunday, January 11, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. after a brief illness. Randy was surrounded by close family members at the time of his passing, including his stepfather Wayne E. Simms of Del City. Randy was born at McClellan Air Force Base, near Sacramento, California on January 1, 1953 just after midnight, being the second child born that year in California. This made Randy somewhat of a local celebrity, culminating in an appearance on a local television station in Sacramento a few days later.

Randy is survived by a brother Bill L. Holmes & wife Denni Holmes of San Diego, California a sister Treela J. Phillips & husband Johnny L. Phillips & a daughter Christy D. Rutledge, both of Oklahoma City. Also, "Ran Ran" will be greatly missed not only by his dog, Easy Money, by his niece Chealea A. Phillips.

Randy was a born again Christian & is now in Heaven with Our Lord & his mother Rita J. Simms. In recent years, Randy worked as an apartment maintenance technician & was highly skilled in many building construction trades. The family would like to sincerely thank Interim Hospice for all their care on a Godly level.
