March 29, 1950 – July 10, 2024 Wayne John Randall 74, passed away on July 10, 2024, in Texas surrounded by family following a battle with cancer. Wayne was born on March 29, 1950, in Brockton, MA. Wayne earned a Bachelors’ Degree from Bentley College in Boston and quickly got a job with a major retail chain after graduating.
Upon vacationing in Colorado in the mid 70’s, he and his then wife Nancy saw an advertisement in the newspaper for a gift shop for sale in Breckenridge, Colorado. Realizing the east coast was not for him, they took a chance and moved to Breckenridge with their two young daughters, Molly and Jessica, and bought the Village Gift Shop. A few years later they welcomed their 3rd daughter, Amy.
Over the years he owned Ski Country Painting, Village Gift Shop, Furry Friends and Fudge, and the Frisco T-Shirt Gallery. Wayne was always active within the Breckenridge community. He was a lifetime member of the Red White & Blue Fire Department.
He retired as Deputy Fire Chief, served on the board for 16 years and was instrumental in getting the training center built. He also volunteered his time to the annual No Man’s Land Festival July 4th was his favorite holiday and Wayne always loved to barbecue for family, friends and the community every year. He was also an active member in the Viper Club (he loved fast cars and anything Mopar!) and would invite other members to Breckenridge for the holiday parade.
As part of the celebration, he would hold a free car show.
