Randall Ralph Rolfe

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Randall Ralph Rolfe, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Randy passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, stories, and unforgettable memories.

Randy was the cherished husband of Frances, his devoted wife of 44 years. Together, they shared a life filled with love, adventure, and countless weekend fishing trips that Randy treasured so deeply. His greatest pride and joy were his three daughters, Samantha (Marc), Olivia (Matthew, fondly known as Sharky), and Charlene (Noah). To them, he was not only a father but a guiding light, a storyteller, and a source of unwavering support.

Randy’s grandchildren were the apples of his eye. He was a cherished Grandpa to Hunter (Samantha & Marc), and Bapa to Hannah & Thea (Charlene & Noah), he endlessly spoiled them with treats, surprises, and love. Randy took immense joy in sharing his passions with them, especially during family gatherings and holidays.

Christmas was Randy’s favorite time of year, a season he celebrated with unmatched enthusiasm. He spared no expense in gift-giving, reveling in the joy of seeing his loved ones’ faces light up. His love for music, particularly the band Rush, was evident to all who knew him. With over 20 Rush tattoos adorning his skin, Randy proudly shared his admiration for the band at every opportunity.

Known for his animated storytelling, Randy had a way of captivating everyone in the room. He never hesitated to share his opinion—often twice if necessary—and his voice became a staple at family gatherings. Randy’s love for life was infectious, and his presence brought warmth and laughter to every occasion – especially his famous Fish Frys.

Randy was the “baby” brother to seven siblings, a role he embraced with humor and love. His family was his foundation, and he found joy in every moment spent with them.

Visitation for Randy will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2025, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM at Cavill Funeral Home, followed by a Memorial Service at 1:00 PM. In honor of Randy’s vibrant spirit and love for storytelling, we encourage all to share their favorite memories and stories at the reception to be held at the Gravenhurst Legion following the service.

For memorial contributions, the family asks that you consider donating blood or giving to the Ronald McDonald House and carry forward Randy’s legacy of love, laughter, and generosity. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered in the hearts of those who loved him.
