Randy Woods passed away at home in Silver Lake on Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2024, at the age of 70. He was born on Dec. 1, 1953, in Danville, Ill., to Nelbert Woods and Kathryn (Fillinger) Hood, both of whom preceded him in passing. Randy attended school in Kokomo and later pursued further studies at Ivy Tech.

Randy led a life characterized by hard work, integrity and a deep affection for his family and friends. He rarely knew a stranger and was quick to make friends of all types.

Professionally, Randy is remembered as a hard worker with an attention to detail. He worked as a mechanic, in tool and die and later as a machinist for Zimmer. Known for always lending a helping hand, Randy was the go-to person for friends and family seeking assistance on various projects. His work ethic and willingness to support those around him made a significant impact on many lives.

Outside of work, Randy was remembered for his genuine love for children and animals of all kinds. His soft heart, paired with a good sense of humor, endeared him to those who knew him. Above all, he took immense pride in his children and cherished moments spent with his grandchildren, who brought him boundless joy and strength.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in passing by two siblings, Vera Fillinger and Roy Woods. He is survived by four children, Keri Thompson, Mara Woods (and Chris Merrill), Jare Woods (and Neil Drudge) and Randy Woods Jr.; several grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and two siblings, Judy McGrew and Rex Woods.
