YOAKUM: Randolph “Randy” Walter Huehlefeld, 73, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. He was born on October 31, 1951 in Yoakum, Texas to the late Victor and Lillie (Pavelka) Huehlefeld.
Randy graduated from Yoakum High School in 1969, where he was a member of the marching band, playing the tuba. He went on to pursue a career in retail management, which relocated him to Katy, TX, where he lived and raised his family for 33 years. He loved “all” genres of music but mostly enjoyed his polka music and sometimes would get out his accordion to play along. He was part of the Hub City Dutchman band and was able to cut a few records. Randy enjoyed many sports but mostly enjoyed watching the Astros, the Texans and Dallas Cowboys. He held a deep sense of patriotism, relished engaging in political discussions, and loved his Lone Star State. In his retirement, he moved back to Yoakum and returned to his parent’s home, where he resided for the last 9 years. He was happy to be back “home” in the “Bulldog” country.
Survivors are his three daughters, Kim Loner and husband Brad of Katy, Carolyn Fernandez and husband Alan of Colorado, and Kathy Motis and husband Bennie of Katy; six grandchildren, Colby Loner, Jayden Fernandez, Julian Fernandez, Brady Motis, Peyton Motis and Vivian Motis; the mother of his daughters, Sandra Huehlefeld; brother, Billy Huehlefeld and wife Monica of Lake Jackson; nephew, Paul Huehlefeld and niece, Amanda Scott.
