Randy Seurer, age 64, of New Prague, died suddenly Thursday, February 11, 2016, at St. Francis Regional Medical Center in Shakopee. Randy was born December 19, 1951, in New Prague to Ralph P. and Dorothy M. (Pauly) Seurer. He was a lifelong resident of New Prague, attending St. Wenceslaus School and graduating from New Prague High School. He served for 6 years in the Army Reserve and on September 30, 1972, he married Marlene J. Weiers at St. John’s Catholic Church in Union Hill. After their marriage, Randy would operate Randy’s Mobil Station. He also went on to work for MVE and did over the road trucking for many companies: S & M Trucking, J & R Schugel, Transport Design, and finally Cliff Viessman Trucking. After retirement, he worked as a lunch scanner at Raven Stream Elementary School. Randy was a man of many interests. He loved the outdoors, satisfying that passion with fishing and hunting, motorcycling during the warmer months, and snowmobiling during the winter. He also loved flying and belonged to Marginal Aviation. Finally, his love of vehicles was furthered by his interest in classic cars. But his highest priority in life was time with his family and he loved especially the time spent with his 5 grandchildren.
