A visitation and service will be held on Saturday, April 2, in the large Cambridge High School gym (403 Blue Jay Way, Cambridge, WI 53523).

Randy was born on Feb. 23, 1971, in Stoughton, to Marvin and Eldray (nee Webb) North. He spent much of his early life in Stoughton, Edgerton, and Cambridge, eventually graduating from Cambridge High School in 1989. For years after graduating, he worked at his high school before doing farm work for various Cambridge area farms. Randy joined the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Department in 1998 and was elected to be an assistant chief in 2008, a position which he held until the time of his passing. He was the CVFD representative in the Jefferson County Chiefs Association and the Jefferson County Firefighters Association, and was also a liaison for the Cambridge School District and the Camrock Park Trails. Randy served as a firefighter for 24 years, but also worked for the Cambridge Area EMS from 1999 to 2017 as a driver. He was a member of their Board of Directors for many years and was also the vehicle maintenance director. He was also an active member of the Cambridge Lions Club and the FFA. Randy will always be remembered for the bravery he possessed and his dedication to his community.
