Randy Ray McCarty 75 of North Platte died March 31, 2024 in Lincoln Ne. He was born June 6, 1948 in North Platte to Ray and Pat (Nisley) McCarty. Randy attended North Platte Public Schools, graduating from NPHS in 1966.

He grew up with a love for baseball, playing and coaching area teams including a NP Legion baseball team.

Randy and Mary E Johnson were married the fall of 1969 raising three sons, Michael, Todd and Christopher. You could always find them at the baseball field or on a camping trip. Cherished memories included Mike and Randy being able to see the New York Yankees play in Yankee Stadium, a Florida trip to see Todd and the Muscle Car Museum where Todd kept the cars in perfect running condition and a recent trip with Chris to Vermillion SD to see his grandchildren, a new great grandbaby Easton and grandson Logan’s football game.

Randy attended Mid Plains Community College to study electrical applications.

His passion for electronics began then working for Scott electronics and carried through much of his career. His hobbies included bowling, where he was inducted into the Bowling Hall of Fame and camping in Yellowstone, one of his very favorite places.

His love for the Rocky Mountains led him to Wyoming working for the Union Pacific Railroad.

While living in Colorado Randy married Loreene Thompson who shared his love of the mountains, wildlife and sports. One highlight being a retirement trip through Alaska. He was an avid fan of the Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies but he never forgot his roots and the NE Huskers who were at the top of his list.

Survivors include Michael, children Samuel and Quinn, Todd, children Tate and Jenna and Christopher, children Braxton, Aiden, Logan, daughter Riley and grandbaby Easton, Chris’s special friend Amanda, brothers Jerry (Nellie) and Gary (Deanna) McCarty sister Trish Liljestrand, many nieces and nephews.
