MR. RANDALL "RANDY" COLIN BURTON of Foremost, beloved husband of Candy Burton, passed away, after a courageous battle with cancer, at his home surrounded by his family on Monday, April 21, 2008 at the age of 51 years. Randy was born on June 9, 1956, the fourth and youngest child of the late Bob and Mary Burton of Foremost.
Randy was a Foremost man through and through. He received all of his schooling in Foremost and in Grade 7, began dating his soul mate, Candy Lynes. When he wasn't in school, Randy kept busy working either at his father's bulk fuel agency or for Tom Frankish. while still attending school, Randy began driving his father's school bus, which he continued to do after his father's passing.
After graduating from high school, Randy worked hard on a lot of community endeavors. Randy was a member of the Foremost Ambulance and Fire Department for 20 years, was involved in bringing the Community Bus to Foremost, and was a member of Foremost Tractor Pullers Association for their entire existence. Just prior to marrying his childhood sweetheart, Randy began farming with his soon-to-be father-in-law, Ted Lynes.
Randy loved his family friends, and farming with all his heart. Farming was complete with his right hand man, Bob Bourret. Nothing was more important than spending time with family and friends. Camping trips were some of Randy's greatest memories. Randy cherished the friends he made while he was custom harvesting. Later in life, Randy took great pleasure in the trips he took on his Harley Davidson Motorcycle. No matter what Randy had going on in his life, he was always more than willing to be there to lend a hand or his support to his family, friends and neighbours; that was his nature.
It was admirable the way that Randy fought his battle to the end without once complaining. No matter when he was questioned, Randy's three favourite words continued to be "perfect, beautiful and wonderful."
He is survived by his loving wife Candy; daughters Kelsey (Scott Hazell) and Darcie and his favorite dog Molly; mother-in-law Irene Lynes; as well as Callum Sears, who Randy was looking forward to welcoming to the family. He also leaves behind his brothers Brent (Deb) and Rochy (Donna) sister Pat (Ken) Friesen; nephews Spencer, Bryce (Ashley), Cole, Tye, Justin (Amy) and Jeremy and nieces Daryl and Kara (Keith).
Randy was predeceased by his daughter Nicole, his parents Bob and Mary, father-in-law Ted and Candy's brother Kenny.
