Randy Damon

Randy Damon, 66, born in Troy, NY to Dorothy (Kern) and Alan Damon July 6, 1959, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones at his home in The Villages, FL September 4, 2025 two months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Randy lived life to its fullest. After graduating from Lansingburg High School in 1976 he went on to buying, remodeling and managing apartments in Troy. He then moved on to build homes in Troy NY, Chicago IL, Lake Geneva & Delavon WI, the last being a house for Habitat for Humanity outside The Villages, FL. Over the years he has helped after hurricanes hit Florida and other disasters around the US to help repair and rebuild from the damage from the east to west coast. He was very handy, therefore earning the nickname “Handy Randy” by many. Randy had many interests usually involving a “motor”. Fast cars, Motocross racing, airplanes, boats (who remembers “Cheaper than Kids” on Lake Michigan), jet skis, 4 wheelers, dune buggies just to name a few. There was always an adventure that involved having a strong constitution. There are many stories of Randy from all the people he came in contact with, from his motocross racing days, all the places where he designed and built houses and condos, to boating and his travels in his motorhome or flying around the countryside. I don’t think you could go anywhere that you said his name someone would say “Randy Damon” and you’d get some wild tale of when they met him. They became lifelong friends to the end. He had a dry sense of humor and was a practical joker and always fun to be around. Always ready to give advice and helping hand with that devilish grin (not sure how they didn’t end up in jail with it). Randy loved his nieces and nephews and they all adored him. Never a dull moment when he was around picking on them, his family meant the world to him. We are all going to miss him but what beautiful memories we all have. Survived by his three sisters Cynthia Long (Robert) Gail Wilson (Phil) and Jill Tryon (Bill) and many nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews, and many dear friends. Randy’s legacy of kindness and devotion to family and friends will live on in the memories of those who knew and loved him. He gave generously his love, trust and faithfulness to those around him and will be truly missed. There will be a Celebration of Life service in Troy NY at a later date and will be announced. Donations may be given to Habitat for Humanity 2288 Oak Bend Place, The Villages, Fl, 32162 Arrangements entrusted to Beyers Funeral Home of Leesburg, Florida.
