Randy Ray Broadwater 1962 ~ 2009 Randy Ray Broadwater, born April 25, 1962, died on December 12, 2009, at his Wisconsin home of lymphoma diagnosed in February 2009. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Randy graduated from Granite High School and was the first in his extended family to graduate from college. He worked as a welder to put himself through school and received an Associates Degree in Welding Technology from Utah Technical College and a B.S. in Industrial Welding Engineering Technology from Utah State University. He was working on his MBA at the time of his diagnosis. Known for his business acumen, Randy worked for Miller Electric Welding in Wisconsin, Harley Davidson in Missouri, Case-New Holland in Iowa, and General Dynamics in Connecticut. He lost his first wife, Kristen Lorenz, in 2001 to a brain tumor shortly after they married. Five years ago, he met Joann Frechette and her son, Cole, and he officially made them his family in a wedding ceremony on November 7, 2009. A lifelong learner, Randy delved into whatever caught his interest with gusto. He was a voracious reader of business and marketing books. He took up hunting and shot his first turkey last April on his birthday. He loved his Harleys especially Ol' Red, and his red-haired wife Joann who he called Li'l Red, and his stepson, Cole. Preceded in death by mother Elinor Shaw Broadwater and first wife Kristen Lorenz. Survived by father Kenneth Ray Broadwater and sister Karleen Broadwater. A non-denominational memorial will be held on December 21, 2009, 10 a.m., at 425 W. Park Ridge Avenue, Grand Chute, Wisc. 54911.
