Randy Heberline, age 61, passed away on December 16, 2022, at his home in Eagle Rock, Missouri.

Born on February 3, 1961, to Roy Heberline and Renee Widder, in Atwater, California, Randy was the youngest of three boys; brothers, Ron and Robert, preceded Randy in death.

As a child, Randy loved cars, and was a star student in his high school shop class. Randy would go on to earn a degree at Universal Technical Institute and become a diesel mechanic for John Deere.  He later became the Shop Foreman for the Cunningham Ranch, and finally Shop Foreman for the Atwater Elementary School District. Also during this time, Randy was blessed with his greatest achievement, his son, Brandon.  A few years later he welcomed two daughters, Alyssa and Matti, through his union with his wife Lauri.

Upon retirement, Randy became a firefighter and first responder, eventually being promoted to Captain of the Mano Station under Chief Ron Creek. Ron saw potential in Randy as a leader, and sent him to Missouri Firefighting Academy, as well as training to become a Firefighter Educator. Thanks to Randy's calm leadership, lives and structures were saved in the Eagle Rock, Golden and Mano region.

Randy was a gentle man, who loved his wife and children dearly. He was an amazing father, grandfather, brother, uncle, colleague and friend. He touched many lives, and will never, ever, be forgotten.

Randy is survived by his children Brandon, Alyssa and Matti; grandchildren, Joey, Artie, and Angel; brother, Ron; dog, Emma; and former spouse, Lauri.

Cremation arrangements are under the direction of White Funeral Home & Crematory of Cassville.
