It is with heavy hearts & deep sorrow, that we acknowledge that, Randy passed away , at the age of 61, from  a heart attack. We are devistated & shocked by what has happened.

Randy was born and raised in Gilroy, California. He moved to the bay area at the age of 19 to persue his dreams of being an artist. He succeeded by learning many forms of media with his drawing abilities and created his own character, 'Vampiroonie,' and others of which, he is well known for.

He was very intelligent, talented and a gifted artist. His attention to detail and creativity~ were amazing! He is well known and highly respected in "the art world" by his colleagues. He could make you laugh, at the silliest things.

For the last several years, he lived in San Jose working as a security guard at Valley Fair Mall, in Santa Clara, while continuing his art work.

Randy and his fiance' Merutsuki Inuyoukai, were planning to get married in 2025. Merutsuki was a very positive influence in his life. It is devastating, that his life was cut short.

Randy was the son of Joe and Mona Vogel of Gilroy who previously deceased him. He leaves behind his brother Mike Vogel (Linn), sisters Leana Long (Don) and Lori Pendleton (Johnny), two nephews, two neices, four great neices, and numerous Uncles, Aunts and cousins in the Vogel and Little families. He will be greatly missed by his family, fiance, friends and colleagues.

Donations can be made to Childrens Art school or program of your choice.

A memorial will be held at a later date.
