Randy Lee Carley

It is with deepest sorrow we announce that Randy Lee Carley, 64, our most beloved father, grandfather, brother, family member and friend went to his heavenly home on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021. We know Randy is now with his loving mother and father and was loved here on earth as well as our beautiful heaven. Randy was born May 1, 1956, at Shawano Hospital to the late Merlyn “Bob” and Mary (Hull) Carley. At an early age, Randy loved sports, especially being a catcher for Bowler’s BABA Baseball Team. He also loved hunting and fishing with family and friends. Randy graduated from Bowler High School in 1974. He worked for the United States Postal Service in Bowler for 30 years. He lived in Bowler his whole life. About two years ago, he built his dream home on Lake Gogebic, Michigan. He enjoyed looking at God’s beautiful sunrise and sunsets over the lake. He will always be remembered as the life of the party with a heart of gold, telling his funny stories with that beautiful twinkle in his eye. Randy is survived by his special friend, Diana Carley; son, Collin Lee (Amanda) Carley; daughter, Alanah (Dylan) Carley; precious grandson, Kyden; his loving caregiver and brother, Tommy Hi (Deb) Carley; sister, Kerry (Ray) Murphy; and stepmother, Nancy Staszak Carley. He is further survived by many loving nephews, nieces and cousins, and cannot forget his fur-loving friend, Millie, who gave him many kisses until the end. He was preceded in death by his parents. Funeral services will be held at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Bowler at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, 2021, with Pastor Mark Hesse officiating. Visitation will be held on Saturday at the church from 9 a.m. until the time of services. In respect for family and friends, it is requested that you please wear a mask. A celebration of life for Randy will be held at a later date. Don’t worry, my friend We are moving apart But our friendship Is deeply rooted in my heart I have to take one path While you pursue another But we will meet soon Let’s promise each other Farewell — Unknown www.swedbergfuneralhome.com
