Rand leaves to cherish his memory, his children; three sons, William "Bill" McCorkle, Rand Metrejean Jr, Dale Metrejean; five daughters, Judy Mabile, Dixie Lizana, Holly Green, April Percle, Deadra Metrejean; one sister, Maggie Foret; nineteen grandchildren, Joseph, Amber, Jesse, Carly, Haley, Jamie, Cody, Devin, Toby Jr, Kayla, Kaitlyn, William "Bill" Jr, Lonnie, Erica, Amy, Harris Jr, Lisa, Christina, Dusty, Kelly, Charmaine, and numerous cherished great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Nicholas "Nikos" and Louise Guillot Metrejean; two brothers, Claude Metrejean, Alvin Metrejean; four sisters, Annie, Frances, Mae, and Louetta; first wife, Ida McCorkle, second wife, friend, and loving co-parent, Mary Metrejean; daughter, Debra Garibot; two grandsons, Michael Metrejean and Timothy Mabile. To provide for his family, Rand was a dedicated welder, fitter, and machinist for over 30 years. Following his retirement from Diamond Services, he immediately took up carpentry, which he loved. His second love was smoking garfish in his homemade smoker. (Fact: Rand and his brothers are famous for their smoked garfish.) In his free time, he enjoyed visits to the lake to feed the squirrels and ducks. Rand was a devoted father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved him. The family requests that visitation be observed from 6pm until 8pm on Thursday, July 28, 2016 at Twin City Funeral Home. A Memorial Service will be held at 7pm. ===================
