Rany Nessel

ODESSA - We celebrate the life of Randy Nessel. Randy was a devoted husband and best friend to his wife.
Randy was a loving and involved father and uncle. He was close to all his family and loved them dearly. His friendships were all very meaningful to him.
Randy also remained close to his Navy buddies throughout his life. He gave so much of himself to others without expecting anything in return. Randy accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior of his life. Randy has run the race that Paul talks about in his letters to Timothy. He has surrendered to his Holy Will, and made straight his path to His loving, caring, eternal, arms.
We thank God for sharing such a wonderful man, Randy Nessel, with us all.
