The loss of a true love

Randy Briggs was born in Port Angeles, WA on October 20, 1962. He was the son of Marilyn Jo Vaught and Tim Briggs. All his life he lived and worked in Washington state, Seattle, Tacoma, Gig Harbor. Randy passed away on January 2, 2010 of a sudden massive heart attack.




Our story begins in 2000, 9 years ago when I met the love of my life, my soul mate, lover and best friend. We got married in 2001. We lived in Tacoma, WA for a few months, then moved to Port Orchard, but since the first day when Randy took me on a grand tour of Washington coast, we both fell in love and wanted to live in Pacific Beach/Moclips area. in 2005, we moved to Pacific Beach and it was our home. It was the place where we belonged, where we were happy, had fun, made plans, met our friends.

in 2009, we went to mexico to stay here for some time and lived in Ajijic, Chapala lake area, where we celebrated his 47 birthday in October, had wonderful Christmas and New Year.

On January, 2, 2010, Randy woke up at 4 am with a sharp chest pain, I tested his blood pressure, which was a bit elevated, but his pulse was too low, I rushed him to the nearest hospital, which was only a few minutes away, the moment I reached the hospital, Randy died, died in my arms when I was screaming for help. Paramedics worked on him for a while, but could not bring him back.

He was a strong, beautiful, kind, the most wonderful man and He is the best thing the ever happened to me.

  2. I met you 9 years ago while you putting the skirting on your mothers house. A man so full of life always smiling out in the late summer sun. Always working so hard. Your life taken way to young from your loved ones; your wife, your mother and your friends all trying to make sense of this sudden loss. I will miss the 3:30 am trips to the airport, your kind heart and your smiling face. Until we all meet again thank you for being my friend, you will forever be in my thoughts.

  8. Dear Stasyia,
    I tried unsuccesfully to reach you by phone & mail when Allen Parker and I ran into each other and I heard the news. Please know you have been in my thoughts and prayers so often.
    The times I meet with you and the times I saw Randy to work on R.E. business it was always evident that you two had a special relationship and that truly loved you.
    I hope time is bringing you peace,

    Im sooooo sorry to hear about this... I was really good friends with Randy from 1984-1992 when we lost touch of each other. Randy was an awesome guy!!! I knew him from Tacoma, WA. He was like a big brother to me, we hung out almost every day for 3 years straight. I was searching to see if he had a facebook so I could say hi, and maybe get together for lunch or something when I came across this article. To his wife, we have never met but I am so sorry to hear of your heartache. This has touch me in so many ways its not funny!!! I hope you find peace
