Randy was born March 2, 1953 to Herman and Mildred (Kasten) Wegner in Manitowoc, WI. During his childhood, he attended St. John’s Lutheran School in Maribel and went on to attend Manitowoc Lutheran High School, from which he graduated in 1971.

He was also a member of the Equity Livestock Board, St. John’s Lutheran School Board, and served two terms as President of St. John’s Lutheran Church and also served on the church council.
There were many things Randy enjoyed in life. Shooting trap, driving and caring for his corvette, watching football- especially a championship Super Bowl game, lending a helping hand to the neighbors he adored, and the cherished time he spent watching his son, Nathan, racing.
