Randy Jay Bardonner, 64, peacefully made the journey to heaven on March 29, 2023. He is no longer in the physical distress that had plagued him for so long. He now enjoys a home filled with so many of his beloved family members, most notably his father, John Bardonner; and sister, Pamela Bardonner. Randy was a gentle soul who loved music and animals. He never met a brass instrument he couldn't tame. He was a graduate of Muskingum University and received his Master's degree from Ohio University. He is survived by his mother, Janet; and his sister, Beth Bardonner, both of Cedar Falls, Iowa; as well as several aunts, uncles and cousins. He is also survived by Dawn Levesque who was his close friend, of more than 30 years. Her care, love and attentiveness brought him great joy, companionship and love.
