Mark “Randy” Randal Sill, 54, of Bradenton, FL went to be with our Lord and Savior unexpectedly early in the morning of Monday, July 26, 2021. He is survived by his wife Sharon Pinkerton Sill; parents Mark Norman and Gwendolyn Sill of Westfield, IN; brother Mark Brian Sill and sister-in-law Jennifer Sill; niece Megan Sill; nephews Joshua and Kaleb Sill; mother-in-law Delores Pinkerton. He was preceded in death by his grandparents on both sides and father-in-law.

Randy was born in Elkhart, IN on February 27, 1967 and attended Constantine schools in Michigan through the 8th grade, then went to Elkhart Christian High School Academy for 9th to 12th grades, graduating in 1985. There he took computer courses through the career center and some classes at Glen Oaks Community College in Centreville, MI where he ended up teaching the class for a short time as he had the gift of software programming.

Randy and Sharon met shortly after he graduated high school and five years, two days later they were married on June 17, 1990 in Three Rivers, MI. The couple has no children except for their fur babies. They enjoyed life together by traveling, camping, flying in his experimental airplanes, spending time with friends and family. They lived in Indiana for 23 years before moving to Florida at the end of 2019 where they were able to enjoy the sunshine, boating, and watching the various wildlife from their home in Bradenton.

As a youth Randy was involved in Boy Scouts, then later was so enthusiastic about computers and programming languages that he basically taught himself and made a successful career of it. He loved working for his current company, Valley Agricultural Software (VAS) out of Tulare, CA at home for the past four years. He also enjoyed his previous job for almost 30 years at Autobase that was centered in Indiana. Randy would always say the quote “find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life” and that is exactly what he did.

Randy was a soft-spoken, patient, kind-heart man with an adventurous streak. Before moving to Florida he was a member of Indy Flyers EAA Chapter 1527 out of Westfield, IN for many years. He enjoyed going to AirVenture in Oshkosh, either flying in one of his experimental airplanes or taking the camper with his wife. Randy loved talking to everyone and sharing his passions such as his love for Jesus, Bible prophesy, cars - especially classics, airplanes, and computers. His all-time favorite trip was to Israel, to be able to walk where Jesus walked and visit numerous locations in 2009 with Dr. Chuck Missler who founded Koinonia House and has since passed away in May, 2018. Now we know they are both in Heaven having the best discussions ever!

Even though there were times Randy worried his wife with flying stories after the fact or did impulsive things like buy a 1967 Camaro without “discussing” it with her first, she would do the last 36 years all over again. Celebration of Life services for Randy are scheduled for Saturday, August 14th at 1 pm for Shoreline Church, 4908 Lena Rd, #104, Bradenton, FL and Saturday, August 21st at 1 pm for White Rock Fellowship, 21070 Schulley Rd, Noblesville, IN.
