In Loving Memory of Randy Charles Bloom
With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we remember and honor the life of Randy Charles Bloom, 62, of Scappoose, whose life was tragically taken on Sunday, April 12, 2026. Randy passed away following a devastating two-vehicle collision on Highway 30 in Columbia County, a moment that has left his family, friends, and community in profound grief.
On that evening at approximately 7:06 p.m., Oregon State Police responded to the scene of a head-on crash near milepost 48, just outside Rainier. According to preliminary reports, a gray Subaru Outback traveling westbound crossed into the eastbound lane, colliding with the red Ford Focus driven by Randy. Despite the efforts of first responders, Randy was sadly pronounced deceased at the scene.
Randy’s passing is not just a tragic statistic—it is the loss of a cherished soul, a beloved member of his community, and a man whose presence brought warmth and meaning to those who knew him. He was more than a name in a report; he was a father, a friend, a neighbor, and a light in the lives of many.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Randy will remember him for his kindness, his steady spirit, and the quiet strength he carried through life. Whether through a simple conversation, a helping hand, or shared laughter, Randy had a way of making people feel valued and seen. His life was defined not by the way it ended, but by the love and memories he leaves behind.
In times like these, words often fall short. The suddenness of this tragedy reminds us how fragile life can be and how important it is to hold our loved ones close. As we mourn Randy’s passing, we also celebrate the life he lived—a life filled with moments that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
To Randy’s family and friends, we extend our deepest condolences. May you find comfort in the memories you shared, strength in one another, and peace in knowing that Randy’s life made a lasting impact that will never be forgotten.
Though he is no longer with us, Randy Charles Bloom’s spirit will continue to live on—in every memory, every story, and every life he touched.
Rest in peace, Randy. You will be deeply missed, and forever remembered.
