Born on June 7, 1958, in Lancaster County, WI, to Roscoe and Lois Lipska, he was an embodiment of love and friendliness, traits that resonated with everyone he encountered. Randall brought joy to many and had a life-long passion for the Green Bay Packers, hunting, and fishing. Nothing brought greater joy to Randy than time spent with his children and grandchildren, who were the pride and joy of his life.
Randy had a successful career in business, owning and operating Lipska Feed and Grain until his retirement in 2017. He married the love of his life, Lori Hightower, on December 6, 1999, in Las Vegas, making cherished memories and building a life filled with love and laughter. His passion for his work, commitment to excellence, and diligence were evident in everything he set his mind to. Randy was invariably noted for his exceptional friendliness and loving nature; it is to this testament that we remember him.
Randy was preceded in death by his parents, Roscoe and Lois Lipska; his sister, Kim Jentz; father-in-law, Ronald Hightower; and his nephew, Kyle Mhyre. His loss will be felt deeply by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his wife, Lori Lipska of the home; son, Luke Lipska of Quinton; and daughters, Laci Johnson of McAlester and Summer Clark with her husband, Brandon of McAlester. He was the proud grandparent to Rhiannon Johnson, Braelon Johnson, Jace Clark, and London Clark, all of McAlester. He also leaves behind his sister, Karla Mhyre of Albany, WI; mother-in-law, Joyce Hightower; brothers-in-law, Greg Jentz of Fennimore, WI, Gary Hightower of Tulsa, and Todd Hightower of Canadian; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends.
We will be forever grateful for the time we shared with Randy, and he will be missed dearly by his community, friends, and family. Casting a long shadow of love, compassion, and joy, Randy E. Lipska will always be remembered for his devotion to those he loved and the light he brought into their lives. Rest peacefully,
Randy, knowing your legacy of love continues.
