Randy Rousch

Randy Rousch, 59, of Little Rock, Ark. went to be with our Lord April 9, 2015 surrounded by his family and friends. He was born May 25, 1955 to the late Harold and Ella Mae Rousch in Miami, Florida. A successful IT Services Manager at Datamax of Little Rock, Randy went beyond business to invest in the lives of his employees and coworkers. When not working hard, he was playing hard on tennis courts and golf courses. Both in the office and on the courts, he was deeply loved by his colleagues and friends. He was a member of Geyer Springs First Baptist Church of Little Rock, and he was occasionally seen on stage, acting in holiday productions at Parkway Place Baptist Church. Under a hardworking, competitive, and fun-loving exterior was a deep, caring man. When it came down to it, what Randy enjoyed most was being a husband and father; he cherished his wife and his two sons, and would make any sacrifice necessary to support his family. Over the last seven and a half months of his life, with the support of Lori, his boys, and many other friends and family, Randy tirelessly and fiercely battled an aggressive cancer that produced a series of debilitating strokes. His bravery and strength were an encouragement to all. Carrying his legacy forward on earth include his loving wife of 35 years, Lori Fowler Rousch; two sons, Ryan Rousch (Brooke) of Austin, Texas and Andrew Rousch (Carolyn) of Little Rock, Ark.; sisters, Carol Sylvest (Jimmy) and Sherry Causey, both of Florida; brother, David Rousch (Dianna) of Tennessee; in-laws who were like parents to him, Larry and Mary Fowler of Tennessee; and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss him dearly. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Harold Rousch Jr. Services will be held locally at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 12, 2015 at Geyer Springs First Baptist Church, 12400 I-30, Little Rock, Ark. 72210, (501) 455-3474.
