 Many firefighters from multiple stations as well as friends and family turned out for the funeral of Island Creek Fire Chief Randy Courtney on Saturday, November 5th. Randy left a big legacy. I'm not sure that there's not anyone in the county who didn't know Randy and not one person is even going to be able to feel his shoes. He had so many hats in the fire with fire departments and with the community and he loved the Lord that not only one person is not going to be able to feel his shoes, it's going to take many and they're not even going to completely be the man that Randy Courtney was. Randy was incredibly beloved and leaves behind a massive legacy. Randy was the most amazing man you would ever meet. Never knew a stranger would talk to anybody that came near him. He loved everybody and he loved the fire community with everything in him. He was the best man I will. He's leaving behind a big, big spot to fill and I don't think that spot will ever be filled. Friends and family say Randy never met a stranger and made friends everywhere he went. His career as a firefighter is one to be admired not only for his accomplishments but for his dedication to the field. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Deen.
