Although he lost the battle, he fought it with courage and his innate good humor. Randy was born in the old Catholic hospital in St. Ignatius on March 12, 1954, to Alice Stockton Trosper and George Lester Trosper. He was the youngest of six children making him the guinea pig for many childhood adventures and experiments while growing up at Kerr Dam. Randy was a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. He attended Polson public schools graduating from Polson High School in 1972. During that time he worked at Safeway. He attended Flathead Valley Community College after graduation fighting wildfires for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes during the summer to finance his education. He then completed a truck driving school. He joined the U. S. Army in 1978.

He attained the rank of Sergeant First Class and was honorably discharged in June 1992. Randy attended Salish Kootenai College, graduating with an Associates Degree. In September 2001 he began work at the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes' Natural Resources Department as a fisheries technician while pursuing a fisheries biology degree through the University of Montana. Randy was employed with the Tribes Water Quality Program beginning January 2003 until his much too early death.
