RANDOLF PAUL (RANDY) NATUIK
February 7, 1956 - August 20, 2021
He was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Hedwig, and his former wife Diane, mother of their children.
He is survived by his daughter Krista, son Cory, sister Jane (Sandy); brothers, Phil (Alice), Joseph, and John (Joanne); his good friend Elaine Kehler, along with many relatives in the extended Natuik, Rebeck, Ludwick, and Demski families. His love for his children was undeniable.
"Rad" was born and raised in Narol, Manitoba. His life was filled with sports, working in the yard, travel, carpentry, and visiting friends and family. Rad loved the world of cars, cherishing his '56 Ford and '69 Plymouth Satellite.
Randy made many friends with a quick infectious laugh and sense of humour. He was always sharing stories and jokes. Randy had a great passion for music. Music of his youth, with energy and lyrics that made you feel something.
He was the first one to lend a hand when one was in need. As an active member of the Knights of Columbus, Narol Council, he always wanted to make a difference.
Randy spent his career at CN Rail, being proud to work at the Transcona Shops and Symington Yards. He spoke fondly of his time at the railway, retiring a few years ago.
Randy was a proud survivor of alcoholism. He worked hard to maintain his sobriety for the last 18 plus years.
"I'm just a man", he would often say.
That's more than enough for us, Randy.
Rest in peace.

I worked with along side Randy for many years at the railway. He was the guy you saw if you had a problem about trucks (where the wheels on the rail cars go). We went on many trips together. We had long conversations about many things under the sun and sitting in his yard having bon fires. We always kept in touch as we did wellness calls to check on each other in our retirement years. Rest in peace my friend. Timmy - Posted by: Timmy (best friend) on: Sep 03, 2021

Dear Krista & Cory, I am sending my deepest condolences to you both. I loved your dad, his heart was golden, his infectious smile, laughter was unlike no other. Memories of your dad bring me back to times of flooding the rink in Narol, in minus 30 weather. We did it though, it was very important to him that the kids in Narol had a place to come out and skate/play hockey! I was so incredibly proud of him. May he rest in eternal peace! Sending hugs to you both! His memory will live within me! 💔 - Posted by: Lori Klassen - Fotiuk (Friend) on: Aug 28, 2021
