About Randy Hoy
Randy Hoy, age 69, passed away on January 27, 2026, in Mesa, Arizona. He was born in Spokane, Washington, on July 8, 1956, to George and Victoria Hoy. Randy lived a very happy and active life filled with family, friends, and many passions, including singing, playing guitar, riding his Harley, and dedicating 51 years of service to Mesa Public Schools. Earlier in his life, he worked as a miner in the copper mines of Superior, Arizona. A job he truly loved and often shared stories about. He also had a deep love for racing and proudly served as the lead sprint car mechanic for his close friend Rick Setser, occasionally racing himself in the No. 1 and No. 51 cars. Together, they won multiple championships at Manzanita Raceway
He took great joy in his six children: Jillane (Jarrett) Yerse, Roger Hoy, Drew (Amanda) Porter, Ryanne Porter, Danica Hoy (Jason Elder), and Leland Hoy, and was immensely proud of his four grandchildren. Randy will be deeply missed, but his love, lessons, and music will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.

Going to miss you primo, always will have those memories of back in the day growing up with the Hoy family spending many weekends with my primos. Never forget when Randy used to imitate Elvis thank you very much!

Randy was one of my big brothers growing up with the Hoy Clan. I would see him once in a while at the neighborhood restaurants in our area.
I will truly miss my big brother ❤️
