Randy Alan Bridges was born in Atlanta, GA and grew up in a military family living in various places. His musical interest began with the trumpet in the school band and continued throughout his life with bass guitar, like his father.    

Randy enlisted in the Air Force and served 6 years until the Air Force requested that he earn a math degree at Auburn University in Alabama. This led to his commission serving as a rocket scientist. Before Randy retired from the Air Force, he started his computer business, which was an easy transition to civilian life, and it prospered for many years. In his spare time, Randy also became an insurance adjuster for natural disaster situations. His many hobbies included ham radio operation, being a master scuba diver, race car driver, airplane pilot, yacht captain, and a sailboat racer. All throughout he played bass guitar, and when he retired, he founded and was full time manager for The Dizzy Juke Band, excelling in his love and passion for music.

Randy is survived by his wife; Mary M. Bridges, his sisters; Pacita Merriman, Rose Bridges, Esta Bridges, and Dianne Anderson, as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his mother; Laura Frances Jeffcoat Lange, his father; John Bridges, and his sister; Marie Bridges.

Randy was a mentor to numerous individuals, including some in the Bill W. group, as well as many other areas of life, and was a beloved and loving husband, doting dog-father, beloved son, brother, and a treasured friend to many. He is dearly missed.

We commit our dear friend to you oh God,and pray that his spirit finds eternal hope , love, goodness and joy throughout his forthcoming endeavors.
God, we thank you for the great gift of having Randy in our lives.
Amen
