Randy enjoyed spending time with his family, going to rock concerts, eating at Swadley's BBQ, taking his kids to the movies, and jamming out to his music so loud you couldn't help but feel the rhythm, too. He will be remembered for his big smile, his silliness, him stepping in to be a dad to anyone that needed one, the way he would make you laugh whether you were sad or mad, and his loving and caring personality.

Randy is survived by his spouse, Roberta Michelle VanDyke; children, Darby Michelle VanDyke, Jarad Randall VanDyke and his spouse Christina Smith, and Brandi Denae VanDyke-Forille and her spouse Hunter Forille; grandchildren, Xavian Micheal Jarrack Nelson, son to Sonja Ann Tom, and Connor Flick, son to Alicia Shockency; pet cats, Darthy Mae and Niella; his father, Walter Lee VanDyke and step-mother Carol VanDyke; sister, Lisa VanDyke-Brown and her spouse Mike Brown; nieces, Danille Trew and Kelsey Anderson and her spouse Adam Anderson; and nephew, Clint Brown and his spouse Emma Brown. Randy leaves behind several more aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins he loved and cared about.

He was predeceased by his mother, Joan Ann VanDyke.
