  Randy W. Sutherland
"Live Strong" Our beloved father, husband, son,
grandpa and friend, Randy Wayne Sutherland, 47,
returned peacefully to our Heavenly Father's open
arms on February 26, 2006. He passed away due to
complications from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). He
was the youngest child born to Ruth and Richard
Sutherland on Sept. 14, 1958, in Salt Lake City,
UT. He attended Olympus High School. He earned his
Eagle Scout. He served an LDS mission in Dallas,
Texas. He received his Bachelors Degree in
Accounting from Park College. On Feb. 12, 1982, he
married his loving wife, Dorothy Bullock, in the
Jordan River Temple and was blessed with four
wonderful children. He served proudly in the Air
Force for eight years. He currently was employed
at Alder's Sales Corp. as their Controller. He was
an active member of the LDS church and served in
many callings, which he loved. His passion the
last few years was bicycling. He loved the
outdoors and loved being with the Bonneville
Bicycle Touring Club. In 2004, he rode over 6,000
miles on his bike. One year ago he surprised his
family with an extreme home makeover with
tremendous help and love from our wonderful
community so that his family would be well taken
care of in the future. Since the makeover Randy
has enjoyed traveling from coast to coast with his
family going to places such as Hawaii, New York,
Niagara Falls, Nauvoo, San Francisco and Denver,
making the most of each precious moment he had
left. Randy is survived by his wife, Dorothy,
children, Anne (Vance) Lee, Jacob, Kyle, Kaitlyn
and grandson, Justin Lee, Ruth Sutherland, mother;
Peg (Steve) Goff, Rick (Maureen) Sutherland, Pam
Sutherland, brother and sisters and many nieces
