It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gary Randa of Lethbridge, Alberta — a beloved truck driver, respected professional, and cherished friend to many within the trucking and local communities.
Gary was more than a driver; he was a symbol of dedication, hard work, and kindness on the road and off. Known for his warm spirit and unwavering professionalism, he earned the respect of countless colleagues and friends throughout the industry. As many have shared, if everyone who admired Gary turned on their chicken lights tonight, the glow would be visible from space — a powerful testament to the impact he had on so many lives.
Self-employed and a proud graduate of SAIT, Gary built a career defined by integrity, reliability, and an unmatched love for the open road. He lived his life with humility and generosity, always willing to lend a hand, share a laugh, or offer encouragement to fellow drivers. His presence made long highways feel a little less lonely and the trucking community stronger because of it.
Gary’s passing is a profound loss not only to his family but also to the entire trucking industry and the community he served so faithfully. He leaves behind a legacy of hard work, friendship, and respect that will not be forgotten.
Friends and colleagues take comfort in imagining Gary now reunited with fellow truckers who have gone before him — Frank, Wilf, Big Mike M, and others — continuing the journey together beyond this life.
We extend our deepest condolences to Gary’s family, loved ones, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. May the memories you shared bring comfort, and may you find peace in knowing how deeply he was admired and loved.
Rest easy, Gary Randa. Keep trucking in heaven — you will be missed more than words can say.
