Randell Wayne Bale, age 73, went home to Heaven to meet his Savior, Jesus Christ, on May 21, 2026. He was born on July 17, 1952, to Don and Ena Bale of Raymond, Washington.

On July 14, 1979, he married the love of his life, Vickie Guernsey Bale, and together they built a Christ-centered home and family.
Randy was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, mentor, and faithful servant of God. He worked on Bale Farms in Baleville, Washington, and later served at Teen Challenge Training Center in Pennsylvania. For more than 25 years, he worked in the prison system, where he taught, mentored, encouraged, and invested in the lives of countless inmates with compassion, wisdom, and hope.

Randy lived an incredible life devoted to loving and serving Jesus and all those around him. He participated in mission trips, volunteered faithfully, provided marriage counseling, and poured his heart into helping others know the love and hope of Christ. Anyone who knew Randy experienced his kindness, contagious joy, humor, and genuine love for people. He had a special love for growing flowers and giving them away.
More than anything, Randy loved Jesus with all his heart. His favorite bible verse was Matthew 6:33. His faith shaped the way he lived, served, and loved his family and community. His legacy of faithfulness, compassion, laughter, and servant-hearted love will continue for generations.
