Randy S. Searles
May 24, 1962 ~ November 25, 2023
Resided in:
Sanford, Maine
Randy Scott Searles, age 61, of Sanford, ME, passed away on November 25, 2023. Born in Biddeford, ME, on May 24, 1962, to Carl Ross and Patricia (Crowley Ross) Searles. At the age of one was adopted by Patricia’s new husband, Ronald Searles, who raised him his whole life.
Randy was disabled for many years, but when he could work, he was a painter for Rainbow Painters. He made some very good friends through painting and cherished their friendships.
Randy was a kind-hearted man who was full of spunk. He loved to joke and laugh with his family and friends, oftentimes with a devilish grin. He wasn’t always a lovey-dovey guy, but he had other ways of showing you he loved and cared for you. As he got older, he learned how to express that love more vocally.
Growing up, Randy loved to tinker with cars and build things. There was a time he loved to play video games and was always up for watching a TV show or movie. He truly was a big kid at heart. He loved the color green, enjoyed listening to music, building model cars, watching the Seattle Sea Hawks, and spending time walking trails with his wife, whom he loved fiercely.
Randy is survived by his loving wife, Elaina Searles, and his six children, Crystal Robert, Anthony Searles, Randy Searles, Lakiesha Anderson, Devin Fulcher, and Elizabeth Searles. Nephew Cj Moors, whom he loved like his own child. Grandchildren Benjermyn Rohner, Kylie Paolucci, Kodey Searles Johnson, Kaylee Searles, Landon Sizemore, Raelynn Fulcher, and Hudson Fulcher, due in May 2024. Siblings Patty Searles, Penny Searles, Samantha Goodman, and Sherri Ross. Also, many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his sister, Patricia Ross, biological father, Carl Ross, brother, Ernie Ross, and mother Patricia Searles.

His pride in his work
Randy was a great man very good father and friend mechanic and loved my friend Elaina with all his heart. Rest in Peace Randy. I’ll see you in the pasture
His eyes
All the time
Making you laugh
Socialize, tell jokes, play games, when he could work, he loved to paint houses inside and out for a living.
Thank you for always sticking beside my sister and loving her in all the good and bad times. For doing those special things for her that to you were little but to her they were very meaningful and loving. Thank you for loving her for 25 years.
How wonderful of a husband and father he was.
To let the small things go. To forgive. And to not hold a grudge.
I’m any way he could. If they asked, he helped. If he saw someone needed help he pitched in.
The love he has for people
I already shared it
He didn’t let little things bother him.
His smile and laughter
Being a wonderful father and husband
By making people laugh. Loving everyone. He didn’t hold a grudge for long. He forgave a lot of people and let it go. He was someone who would mow someone’s yard if they couldn’t do it and would knock on their door and say “If you have a lawn mower, I will mow this lawn here for you for free.” He was that kind of guy.
To love unconditionally, don’t sweat the small stuff. Arguing isn’t worth it. Be happy, you only live once. Give someone a helping hand. Make someone smile. The little things you do in life sometimes end up turning into big things.
A bunch of our family was at my parents house having dinner. Elaina and I used to be able to make ourselves sound exactly alike. Her and I were standing on one side of the dining room table and he was standing on the other side with his back to us. I whispered to her, “Watch this.” I said in Elainas voice “Hey Babe.” Randy turned around and looked at Elaina and said “What.” She raised her voice but in a joking way and said “That was Bethany! I can’t believe you couldn’t tell us apart!” Poor guy! He said “How was I to know! It sounded just like you!” We were laughing! It was easy to pull one over on Randy and he never got mad!♥️
You will be missed so much. Especially by Elaina. You would be proud of her, she is holding up pretty good and leaning on her faith in the Lord. We will see you again. And we know not to rush because you aren’t going anywhere. Thank you for blessing my life with the memories we had.
Randy was laid back, always smiling, always joking, took a lot to get him mad. He was an excellent father and he loved his wife deeply. No matter how hard times ever got, they always stayed together and go through it together. He was dedicated and loyal and someone you could call on if you needed help with anything. He would be there for you.
He was my Brother-in-Law
He loved the Seahawks and he had a tattoo on his arm special for my mother. His Mother-in-Law
Randy had a good heart. He was always up for a good joke or had one to pull out of his pocket himself. Holidays were always nice at my parents home with Randy around or at the lake. He would go around and talk to everyone. Very easy going and he loved with all his heart! I played a trick on him one day. He loves it! Couldn’t wait to share it! I gave him a check for some work he did for me. His wife, Elaina is my baby sister and we were like glue. So I knew she would think it was funny too. In the memo I wrote sex. He bursted out laughing! Elaina said let me see that! She grabbed it and she was laughing. I said let me scratch that out! He said No way! I’m bringing this to the bank just like this! He loved it! He couldn’t wait to get to the bank for that alone. The next time I saw them, he told me all about it. He went through the drive thru and sent the check into the bank. The teller saw it and she started laughing which made Randy and Elaina start laughing. She was showing the other tellers. He got a good kick out of that one! We would always mention it. I would say I will pay you by check. He would laugh and say “Doesn’t matter to me.” And he chuckled. Elaina said “Yeah, he would like it!” We always laughed about that! Randy was a very kind soul. He loved people easily and could get along with everyone. He loved the Seahawks and so does my husband. Which of course is rare in New England. They would talk forever about their Seahawks. We already miss you Randy. Still can’t believe that infectious smile is gone. But I thank God we will see each other again. But no checks up there!😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️

His kind heart and making everyone laugh when they really needed to
One night when we lived in Brownville my dad was taking a nap on the couch, and on the coffee table in front of him he had some of his mini chocolate bars that he always used to get, and I wanted some so I tried to sneak up to the coffee table to get some, I was looking at him while I was grabbing some trying not to wake him and then next thing I know his eyes are wide open🤣 he scared the shit out of me haha, he could always know when I was around him even when he was sleeping
Funny, kind, loving, and very supportive

I first met Randy when I was 10 years old at His father Ronald and Mother Pats wedding reception. He was just a tiny little guy and loved to walk holding my fingers and taking giant steps! He was less than a year old yet, but what a strong tight squeeze he had! And those big beautiful blue eye and long black eyelashes. Everyone always said he was too beautiful to be a boy! Man he truly stole my heart ♥️ I Love you Randy RIP 🙏♥️
