Randy Faulkner

September 27, 1961 – February 14, 2026 

 It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Randall (Randy) Faulkner. He leaves behind family and friends who will forever cherish his memory and miss the joy he brought into their lives.

 Randy was preceded in death by his parents, William (Bill) and Priscille Faulkner. He is survived by his children, Chris Faulkner (Allie) and Lori Ellis (Greg). His grandchildren Hailey and Hayden, his brother Dan (Jill) and sister Cheryl (Doug).

 Randy will be remembered for his kindness, his quiet strength, and the impact he made on those who know him. His passing leaves a space that cannot be filled, but his legacy will live on in those who knew him.

 Randy was a highly skilled machinist who took great pride in his trade. Over the course of his career, he dedicated 30 years to Boart Longyear, where his precision, work ethic, and mechanical expertise earned the respect of colleagues and management alike. He later continued his trade with Atlas Copco for more than five years, carrying forward the same commitment to quality and professionalism that defined his career. Randy’s hands built, repaired, and perfected countless components, and his knowledge of the trade was both valued and admired. He was a master machinist, the likes of which are rare today.

 Randy was a proud member of the 406 Squadron RCAF Alliance. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the 406.

 In accordance with Randy's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will occur on March 22nd, 1pm-4pm, at the 406 Squadron Hall. 406 1st Avenue West, North Bay, ON. Online condolences can be made at www.hillsidefuneral.ca
