He was born April 19, l947, in Oklahoma City, OK. to the late Harry W. Gibbs and Margaret G. Shroyer. He was raised by his mother and Max Logan, his step-father, on a dairy farm in Iowa. He married the love of his life, Teresa Viegas, in 1969 in Santa Maria. They met while Randy was in the U.S. Air Force stationed at Vandenberg. After their marriage, they lived in Puerto Rico for two years. After Randy served four years in the Air Force, they moved to Des Moines, IA, where Randy returned to his job with the Rock Island Railroad. They returned to Santa Maria in 1981, where Randy went to work at the Santa Maria Railroad. After he left the Santa Maria Railroad in 1988, he started his own business, Gibbs Security Gates, in Santa Maria. He was forced to close the business due to his poor health, so he retired in 2014. Randy was a member of the Bent Axles Car Club of Santa Maria. “He ate, drank and slept cars” according to his family. His pride and joy was his 1936 Chevy Coupe. He loved hunting, fishing, snow skiing, camping and water skiing with his family. He was also a member of the Central Coast Vietnam Veterans’ of America Chapter 982 in Guadalupe, CA. He served as vice-president of the club and chairman of the BBQ team for several years. He was president of Your Orcutt Youth Organization for years, chairing the Elks’ Rodeo Queen Campaign for YOYO.

He attended St. Louis de Montfort Catholic Church with Teresa since their relocation to Santa Maria. Randy also loved going to church at the San Ramon Chapel in Sisquoc. Randy was a loving father, husband and grandfather. He was also a very devoted friend to many people. He had a commanding presence, but was most often described as a “Gentle Giant.” Randy was always smiling. He attended elementary and high school in Iowa, graduating from ACL Community High School in 1965. He was involved in 4-H and was proud of winning Grand Champion with his heifer “Dilly” at the Iowa State Fair. Randy was preceded in death by his grandparents, his parents, his step-dad, and step-brother Jerry Logan.
