Randy Mitchell Bagnall, age 51, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, Feb. 24, 2005. A loving, compassionate, humble, and giving man, Randy spent his life considering the needs of others above his own.

Loved by all who were fortunate enough to know him, Randy's gentle nature, smile, charm, and sense of humor will be forever remembered in our hearts.

Randy was born in Lynwood, Calif., to Jack and Marilyn Bagnall. With his dad often racing motorcycles, and his uncles working in the motorcycle and automotive performance industry, Randy grew up with more Tthan a passing interest in cars and motorcycles. He spent several years as the General Manager of a chain of automotive battery supply stores in Orange County, Calif. A skilled engine builder, he eventually opened his own automotive repair shop in Denver, Colo., where he would often repair cars for those in need at little or no charge. He later moved to Prescott to work as a construction manager for a local real estate company, and true to his nature, often performed home repairs for those in need again at little or no charge.

Randy is survived by his brothers, Steve, Gary, and Alan; his son, Shane; and two beautiful grandchildren, Wyatt Mitchell Bagnall, and Sadie Rose Bagnall. He is also survived by his Uncles, Art, and Bill; along with several cousins with whom he was very close throughout his life.

Our deepest gratitude goes out to his devoted partner of 12 years, Cecelia, who stood by his side and cared for him in his time of need. We also thank the Lord for Reverend Allan M. Eliason and his wife Harie, two people whom he deeply treasured that took him in as their own and provided friendship and spiritual guidance. Randy, we will all
miss you!

Those whose lives were touched by Randy are encouraged to attend a service in his honor on Saturday, March 5, 2005, at 2 p.m., at the Prescott First Church of the Nazarene in the Fellowship Hall, Reverend Allan M. Eliason, Officiant, 2110 Willow Creek Road; Prescott, Ariz., 86301.
