Randy M. Eibs passed away on Saturday, January 22, 2022 at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton after many years of health struggles. He was 68 years old.
Randy was born on October 20, 1953, on Camp Gordon Army Base in Augusta, Georgia to parents Henry and Ruby (Anderson) Eibs.
Randy grew up in Port Washington and graduated from Port Washington High School, Class of 1972.
He married his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Judy Zukaitis, on May 4, 1974 and together they had three children, Christopher, Monica, and Amanda.
Randy started work at Johnson Controls right out of high school and worked there for 25 years. He then worked for Allis Tool & Machine Corp and Neuen's Fredonia Lumber Company.
Randy and his family were avid campers and could be found most weekends at their camp site in Sauk City, WI. When not camping, you could find Randy on many Saturdays working on his sister and brother-in-law's farm, often with his 3 children, helping build their love of agriculture. In 1993, Randy realized his dream and together with Judy purchased a hobby farm in Fredonia which was used to support his children's growing love of showing cattle, pigs and horses in 4-H. Years later, the farm was converted to a dairy operation until 2015, when it was converted back to a hobby farm for his grandchildren.
Randy was a devoted supporter of his childrens 4-H activities and volunteered as a beef project leader with Knellseville 4-H Club during the time his children were involved and served on the board for the Ozaukee County 4-H Leaders Association. He continued to show his support by attending the fair annually to watch his grandchildren show.

Mother Ruby Eibs, siblings Dawn (Chris) McCormick, Dona (Norm) Winter, Rick (Joanne) Eibs and Jeff (Holly) Eibs. Randy had a special place in his heart for his grand dogs Gauge and Ryder and his beloved faithful companion Milo. He is further survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Randy is preceded in death by his father Henry and his parents-in-law Felix and Lucille Zukaitis, and nephew Shawn Winter.
