December 11, 2019
Randy Eaton, age 66, passed away after a long illness on Wednesday, December 11, 2019 at Trinity Center at Luther Park, Des Moines.
Randy was born February 20, 1953 in Des Moines, Iowa, the son of Wesley and Virginia (Polad) Eaton. He was an East High School graduate and proudly served his country in the United States Army. Randy married Kathleen McEnany-Eaton and they were blessed with two children whom they treasured. He retired from the City of Des Moines, where he had worked for over 20 years.

He was a fan of the Grandview College Vikings Football Team, the Iowa Hawkeyes, and the Chicago Bears. He was also an avid supporter of the Iowa Lottery Scratch-Off Ticket system. Above all else, Randy’s family were his first priority and he treasured every second he spent with them.

My condolences to Randy's family. Since I'm a couple of years older than Randy, My main memories of him were when I would see him when going over to his parents house to pick up Kenny to go running around back in the late 60's. Had a lot of fun times with the Eatons. RIP Randy.

So sorry for your loss. He loved watching his children play sports I remember looking up in the stands and he would be sitting there reading a news paper and glance up and watch Nick at practice. Had some great conversations before and after practice. RIP mr. Eaton
