PARSONS: Randy Paul of Angus

February 7, 2025 By Haskett Funeral Homes 124 Condolences

PARSONS: Randy Paul of Angus

With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Randy Paul Parsons on February 3rd, 2025, at his home in Angus, Ontario. Born to Doug (2010) and Norma (2011) Parsons on October 17th, 1951, Randy came into this world filled with unconditional love, joy, energy, kindness, strength, compassion, laughter and a sense of positivity that was with him until the moment he closed his beautiful blue eyes.

Left to celebrate his life is his loving wife of 50 years, Debbie; his devoted children Bobby (Julie) of St. Lazare, QC; Leslie (Chris) of New Lowell, Ontario; and cherished grandchildren; Adrianna, William, David, Emma, and Benny. Together they created a wonderful life devoting themselves to each other and family.

Beloved brother and brother-in-law of Gary (Geraldine) Parsons, Jim (Paulette) Parsons, Darlene (Ron) Campbell, Cheryl (Bill) Jory, Chris (Peter) Moore, Cathy (Winston) Patterson, Karen (Ron) Rupert, Lynne Dobson, Judy (Mark) Cronyn, Peter Parsons; and Dennis (Karen) Huras. Uncle Randy to many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by brother Michael (2007). Following Randy’s wishes, cremation has taken place with private family arrangements.

To my dearest family, some things I’d like to say But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I’m writing this from Heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there’s no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on Earth was through. God picked me up and hugged me and he said “I welcome you”. And when it’s time for you to go, from that body to be free. Remember you’re not going…you’re coming here to Me.

As per Randy’s wishes…Keep On Smiling!

    Dear Debbie, Bobby and Julie, Leslie andChris, and families,
    and to all my Parsonsโ€™ Cousins,
    My deepest sympathy. I feel sad to hear of Randyโ€™s death. He was such a fun, kind , generous man. I will cherish my memories of family gatherings and all the summers Randy spent at our farm growing up . He was always eager to help with chores, milking the cows, haying , picking those endless cucumbers , playing games, swimming. He had endless energy and that beautiful infectious smile. We would go roller skating in Grand Bend and I was always amazed that he could skate backwards just as fast as forwards. His feet just danced to the music even with his skates on ! I know he always loved to dance with you Debbie . He loved his family and was always so proud of them!
    Remember those we love donโ€™t go away, they walk beside us in our hearts and in our memories. May Randyโ€™s soul rest in peace and may he watch over you.
    Love and Hugs ,
    Cousin Mary๐Ÿ’•

  27. Bruce Fulcher

    Growing up on Edward Street with the Parsons just down the street made for countless and very precious childhood memories – of which, for me, Randy and his hell-bent exuberance was a huge and almost constant part.

    I hope that when he shared his own remembrances with children and grandchildren, he spoke of Gummer even half as often and even half as warmly and fondly as I have so often spoken about Sagus.

    Those memories will stay strong, but this awful sadness will always now be part of them.

    Randy’s up-for-anything enthusiasm made for years and years of hockey, baseball and pick-up football anywhere … and kicking the can and nicky nicky nine door anytime.

    Wherever he went whatever he did, Randy was remembered – that quick and easy “I’m here – catch me if you can” smile.

    I can only imagine the sense of loss and emptiness Randy’s passing has created for those closest to him, and share my deepest condolences with his family, and with each of his brothers and sisters especially.

    I hope all of you take real comfort in all of the wonderful memories I know you have, now and always.

    I have many wonderful memories of socializing with the Parsons family when we lived close to one another on Edward Street in Exeter. At times it felt like we were all part of the Edwards Street family.

    What I remember most about Randy was his endless energy and courage. He was a pleasure to be around, if you could keep up with him! I used to worry about Randy getting badly hurt when he was playing junior hockey because he was so much smaller than the other players. But then it dawned on me that players on the other teams would have to catch up to him in order to hurt him, and good luck with that.

    I feel grateful for knowing him.

    Thank you Randy, for allowing me to be a part of your family. From the first time I met you, there was never a moment of awkwardness. Your smile always made things easier. I wish I had more time to spend with you, but the time I had will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Randy! P.S. May your drives always be straight and putts be short, but if all else fails, remember, the pencil has an eraser!!!

    Randy was a special person to me and I feel your pain, due to his passing. I so sorry that Randy, Deb and family had to go through such an agonizing time.
    Randy phoned me, just before his passing, to say goodbye, which I am very thankful for. He was positive until the end.
    Randy and I agreed that we lived in the best of times where children could run free. We also agreed that we had alot of great times growing up. We had alot of laughs when we talked about the good old days in Exeter.
    I was always very welcome ay the Parson’s family home and I thank you all for your great friendship.
    Rest in peace Randy, I will never forget you.

We called him twinkle toes on the dance floor. I will forever miss my dad but never forget him. I’ll keep a smile on my face just like he wanted. Dad, I’ll keep smiling every time I think of you. I love and miss you so much โค๏ธ

    Randy was always the life of the party!

    Whenever Randy entered a room he was always smiling and always happy to see you!
    Randy had a certain bounce in him when he walked. When he danced it he was kinda like the energized bunny.
    Randy was a hard working honest family man. We were fortunate to have his friendship all of these years.

    We are going to miss Randy. We will do our best to carry out his wishes and that is not to be sad,
    Our memories of the fun times we had with Randy in our lives will always be cherished!

    RIP dear friend.

    Our deepest condolances to Debbie,Bobby Lesley and their families. Also to the Parson siblings and their families and to Denis and Karen
    It would be very hard for me to ever find fault with Randy. He loved his family wholeheartedly. He was a wonderful partner to his wife Deb. A hard working man who could work circles around most. I used to think he was the energizer bunny always doing something. He wouldn’t sit for long.
    I have many many fond memories. Lots of laughter and kindness he had shown to all. I’m happy that Deb and Randy had some wonderful times during their retirement and the memories they have shared with each other.
    He will truly be missed and never forgotten. Until we meet again friend.
