A Gentle Goodbye to a Soul That Gave So Much

The Roanoke community is mourning the loss of Randy Stoneberger, who passed away peacefully after a long and courageous battle with illness. In their final days, Randy was surrounded by the loving care of hospital staff at Roanoke Memorial Hospital, but no hospital walls could contain the love that poured out from the hearts of family and friends.

Randy was more than just a patient or a name in a chart. They were a beacon of warmth, kindness, and unwavering loyalty to their loved ones. Known for their bright smile and always having time to lend a hand or a listening ear, Randy touched countless lives with simple but profound acts of love. Now, the silence left behind is deafening, and the ache of their absence is deeply felt.

Their journey on this earth may have ended, but those who knew Randy know that the love they gave lives on in every heart they touched.
