Randall Lee Adams

February 24, 1955 – July 28, 2023

Randall Lee Adams, 68, passed away at Central Wyoming Hospice in Casper Wyoming on July 28, 2023 after a long battle with heart complications.

Randy was born on February 24, 1955 in Denver, Colorado to Jospeh Nelson and Twila Joy (Ritthaler) Adams. Randy was the oldest of 4 children. He later discovered his biological father and acquired several brothers and sisters to share his life with.

Randy took pleasure from the simple things in life. Together with his wife, Lori, of twenty plus years, they shared many memorable moments of a happy, loving, caring and beautiful life together which only brought them closer to anticipating their dreams for the future. Their vows, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, resonated throughout their time together. Each of which was tested, but could not break their bond of respect or the love they had for each other. Their commitment withstood the test of time and only grew stronger with each passing year.

Randy couldn't wait to sit down with a bowl of popcorn and watch a good movie with his puppies, Axel and Izzy, along with his cat, Sinks, who couldn't wait to curl up next to him. He loved a good football game as well. Growing up and living half his life in Colorado made him an avid Broncos fan. No matter how they were playing, he remained a loyal fan. He was also known to enjoy a single malt scotch on occasion. Getting together with family and friends was always something he looked forward to. Whether it be a delicious Mexican dinner with his family or a deck party with friends, it all boiled down to making memories through the smiles and laughter created by the people he loved!

He was good-natured and had a great sense of humor. He had a unique and fun relationship with his stepson Scott, which would often result in humorous banter played back and forth and would always erupt in laughter. His stepdaughter Chelsie, was always beautiful in his eyes and he loved her for the dedication and love she always showed him, particularly during his last days. Visiting and being surrounded by his brothers and sisters and their families was another highlight of his life.

Randy especially took pride in his grandchildren, nieces and nephews. From watching them play T-Ball, giggling over funny moments created by childhood play, or receiving their college degrees, it always brought an enormous smile to his face. His job as a Building Official for the City of Worland gave him purpose. He developed good working relationships and friendships with contractors, field specialists and the general public through the many phases of development and construction. He believed that being honest and respectful of their expertise and vision was the key to a good working relationship. He enjoyed his work and his coworkers and it brought him great satisfaction.

Randy was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Lori; children Jasper Adams of Sweden, Shelby Kraft of Arvada, Colorado and Jamie Armijo of Colorado; stepchildren, Scott Schaeffer of Worland and Chelsie (Josh) Jenkins of Casper; brothers, Michael Adams of Colorado, Kirk (Peggy) Adams of Parker, Colorado; sister, Heidi (Dirk) Etheridge of Stratford Oklahoma: siblings he found later in life: Scott, Jay and Mandy; grandchildren: Liam, Eden, Tori, Shea, Taylor, Jordan, Rylan and one great-grandchild.

Cremation has taken place and a service will be held 11:00 am, Friday September 1, 2023 at the Bryant Funeral Home Chapel with Celebrant Kendra Ware officiating. Online condolences may be made at www.bryantfuneralhomeonline.com.
