He was born December 24, 1955, in Sturgis, the son of Albert D. and Gladys M. (Wright) McClain. Randy graduated from Three Rivers High School with the Class of 1974.
Randy spent his childhood on the family farm, where his love for the great outdoors began. He developed a lifelong passion for nature, hunting, and fishing.

Randy worked for Armstrong International for 39 years, holding several positions throughout his career, including Trap Survey Team member, CNC Operator, and Warehouse Manager. He cherished the camaraderie of his coworkers, the breakroom card games, and the family he built during his many years there.

Randy had a passion for motorcycles and a love for all things with a motor, which he proudly shared with his children.
