Our dearly loved husband (companion), father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, Randy Schelin, left us to meet his Heavenly Father on December 6, 2006. Randy was born on March 1, 1956 in Salt Lake City to Colleen Strange Schelin and Thomas Cutler Schelin. He was raised in Great Falls, MT, Twin Falls, ID, and Salt Lake City. Randy attended Hillcrest High School, where he was Valedictorian of his graduating class. Randy married Kelly Goulding in 1978, and later divorced. He is survived by his beloved, long-time companion, Nanette Davis; his dearly loved daughter, Kristin Schelin; his cherished granddaughter, Josie Davis; step sons Christopher Daland Davis and Marcus Milton Davis; brother Timothy Schelin; sisters Susan Orr (John), Tracee Brosius (Jim); and several nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents; brother Jim; and sister Trisha. Randy lived life fully and completely. He liked to work and work he did. Early in his career, he spent 15 years as head-chef at LaCaille. He loved his work and the people with whom he worked as a Structural Steel Detailer at Mountain View Steel Detail. Randy loved children, and he was magical with them. Everyone loved Randy. He is known for his mathematical and computer skills, helping “kids” of all ages with any of their needs; homework, computers, programming, etc. His love of history and politics kept life interesting for those around him, and always kept the conversation going! As self-proclaimed by Randy, his passion in life was his family. He was always there to take care of people and provide assistance. His other passions were Deep Sea Fishing, Ice Fishing, Fishing Fishing, Hunting, Four Wheeling, Golf, and sports of any kind. The speed at which he was able to read, and the ability he had to understand and maintain the information he read was extraordinary. Randy, we loved you, and we will always love you. Randy we miss you. Your time with us was too short. You had a beautiful heart, and a beautiful soul. God bless you.
