Randy Riddle Medical & Final Arrangements Benefit
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Amanda and I am part of Team Randyman. We are trying to raise money on behalf of my Dad, Randy Riddle. Funds are to help Mom, Debra Riddle with final arrangements and medical bills.
Randy was diagnosed with Stage 4 Liver Cancer in May of 2019. He was only given 2weeks-2months and immediately placed on Hospice. After a year on Hospice, they removed him and ran some tests as he was showing improvement and not a decline. His body had begun to heal itself, and the multiple tumors had shrunk miraculously. Due to this miracle, he was able to start some treatments that he was not originally eligible for. These treatments worked for a short time but soon began to attack the healthy parts of his body. He had healthcare and life insurance at the time. The cancer recently spread throughout his body and he was placed back on Hospice on Sept 8th, 2022. His life insurance expired in August of 2022 and him and Debbie were left with nothing but a large number of medical bills and other expenses piling up. Randy passed away on September 10th, 2022, surrounded by loved ones. Randy was a loving, loyal and devoted husband for almost 33 year (November). He had 5 children and 10 grandkids who absolutely adored their Papa.
Dad did not want a funeral. His longtime wish has been to be cremated and have his ashes brought to the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota.
A Benefit was already in the works before his passing and will still be held on October 8th, 2022 in Hastings, Minnesota. This will also be a Memorial for him at that time.
