Randy had a confident and outspoken personality. His directness and candor in expressing his thoughts made him a reliable, dedicated business owner, a kind-hearted person, and a caring husband, father, and friend. In many aspects of his life, Randy exemplified what it means to live authentically and purposefully. His legacy was not only the success of his business, but the lives he touched and the positive influence he had on those around him, especially as a businessman in North Salina.
Randy enjoyed spending time outdoors at his home north of Salina and going to the lake with friends. He was always ready to grab a slalom ski and go for a spin, no matter the temperature.
He is survived by his wife Margie; his sons Jason Carrier and his wife Clara Lucia of Naperville, IL; and Nathan Carrier and his wife Lindsey of Overland Park, KS. He is also survived by grandchildren Nicolas Carrier, Benton Carrier, Beckett Carrier and Ethan Carrier; his stepsister Rita Macy and her husband Bob of Abilene; and his stepmother Shirley Carrier.
