Randy Baker Rushton Obituary (1948 - 2016)

Randy Baker Rushton - A wonderful husband, dad, papa, brother, uncle, and friend passed away January 14, 2016 after a long struggle with COPD. Born to Don and Adele Rushton on October 4, 1948. He was raised in Hunter, Utah surrounded by grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins and life long friends. When he was 14 years old he met and fell in love with his life long partner Lynda Fern Jones. They were later married and would remain that way for the next 48 years. They had 3 children, Jesse, Camille, and Jeannine. Their greatest joy came later in life when they became grandparents to 5 amazing grandchildren Maegan, Lucas, Maximus, August, and Rhiannon. It took a special man to work the soil and coax the crops from the land. Not an easy life but he held fast and proudly gave all he had to it. Although his heart was dear to all of us who knew him he held a special place for his beloved dogs. After he retired from the farm he found some of his greatest joys in Mesquite, NV. Where he loved his condo, the sun, golfing and his beloved slot machines. He is survived by his wife Lynda; his children, Jesse (Heather) Rushton, Camille Rushton, and Jeannine (Ryan) Fowler; Grandchildren Maegan (Teddy) Brems, Lucas Fowler, Maximus Fowler, August Rushton and Rhiannon Rushton; Sister Lynda (Clyde) Ahlquist and brother Craig (Debbie) Rushton and many nephews and nieces.
