Randy Favor, age 65, passed away at home after valiantly battling lung and brain cancer for 18 months. He was born in Lewiston to Eddy Favor and Mara Lynne (Price) Favor on April 20, 1958. He grew up in Lewiston; graduating in 1976 from Lewiston High School.
Randy worked various jobs, most prominently as quality control at Lamb Weston in central Washington, deckhand on a fishing boat in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and as a screen printer and carpenter in Lewiston.
Randy enjoyed fishing, camping, playing cribbage, watching mixed martial arts and listening to 1970s music. He took special pride in his bountiful vegetable garden that he raised each year.
