Trish and Family,

It was always said at poker nights with Randy, "No pooners and save your lunch money."
Jim
My father was an athletic coach when I was younger. I noticed right away that Randy was different. Acted more grown up than the other boys. He was funny, humble, compassionate and practical. I like to think that my Dad (Mr. Rader) and Mr. Riggs were a great influence on him. Oh and he loved my Mom's "Mama Rader Tacos". We send our love and prayers to you and your family.
Patti (Myrtle)

Your friends forever, Jim & Patti Rickers and Family

Trish, Averee, Danny, and extended family,
So sorry to hear about the passing of my good old friend and “battery mate” Randy, “Iron Man” O,Brien”. I Will never forget his wonderful outgoing personality and his sweeping curve ball. I had the pleasure of watching many a batter look foolish trying to hit the nasty pitches that were sent to the plate by this masterful pitcher.

Always enjoyed conversations concerning his lovely wife “Trish”,wonderful children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Those conversations usually came at one of the many gatherings with the good old group created with the class of ‘73. Those conversations were a highlight to many an event. We Will miss the smiling face of our good old friend

Sharing the last same name, Randy and I affectionately called
one another "CUZ" from the day we met. And "Cuz" was one of
the most fun loving and genuine people I've ever known. A stellar
athlete with a passion for sports he was a delight to be around at
any sport season of the year.

To Trish and the rest of the family I offer my deepest sympathy
and will continue to treasure my many, many memories of "Cuz" .

To my dear friend Randy O’Brien;

From the very first time I met you. I felt honored to meet such a beautiful and chill guy. A man who didn’t hold back his feelings or opinions. Honored to be in the presence of such a wise and obviously old soul. Instantly upon meeting your family. I felt truly loved and invited into the pack. Hehehe and yes it was always a pack or a packed house. You were the non judgmental, always giving without hesitation or concern for yourself anything and everything to all those lost and found who you diligently shepherd over. Regardless of how bad things were or how stressed the situation was? You always always had a gigantic smile on your face and nothing but kind and valuable words to share. Always on point making sure the kiddos or anyone in need had a safe ride home a hot meal or a place to sleep. Always going to bat for those who needed a kind caring advocate in their corner. Whatever and whenever you did anything! You did it with a finesse and kindness that is extremely rare to see yet alone experience. You Randy are one of a kind! The kind of guy they make movies about. The kind of movie’s that have you in tears one minute and laughing the next. The kind of movies that when you leave, you have a better understanding and more appreciation of all that surrounds you. I can’t begin to count all the incredible conversations and experience’s I was blessed to have shared with you. If I ever showed up at your house in a bad mood or angry about something? After having a sit down “ pow wow” with you. Your childish yet beautiful giggle and laugh would always have me leaving your house happy and in a completely different mindset. You definitely knew how to connect with a person on a much deeper level then words could ever explain. I do and will always miss the big teddy bear that you are. As tears roll down my face thinking of all the things I didn’t get to share or experience with you. The guilt of not seeing you as much as I could have. I have to remind myself of what an absolute pleasure it has been knowing that you are in my life. Knowing how deeply you touched and affected my Heart & Soul. So as the tears touch my lips I have to laugh and smile. Remembering to feel your warmth and compassion and most importantly the strength that you displayed on a daily basis. A burning hot fire of love honesty and strength that can only come from a true loving Real Human be in that moment 100% kind of Soul. No doubt that you will continue to touch the lives of an unspeakable number of souls in all the best ways possible. I will never forget everything that made you so special and unique. You are missed my dear friend but now you can run free amongst the stars. Walk on the sun or snooze on a pillow soft cloud. I know you have found peace because peace is what you gave. I will be listening for your laugh every time the wind blows Mary. And like castle’s made of sand you walk with me endlessly.

Your loving friend and admirer,

Dear Trish and family,
Oh this day came way too soon, even though you knew it would eventually. What a Trooper Randy was and so strong to endure what he did just to spend one more day with his Sweetheart and family. He was a character and bigger than life, he always made his presence known, which endeared him wherever he went. His loss will be greatly felt but his memories will live forever. He is on to bigger and better things and pain free. Hope you can find comfort in those thoughts. I love your family Trish and I love the Kolb family. My prayers are w/you. Deb Hunt
