Randy L. Torch, 66, of Dover, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Friday, November 5, 2021, in Mercy Medical Center at Canton following a brief illness.
Born July 17, 1955 in Union Hospital at Dover, he was the son of Eileen (Couch) Turrin of New Philadelphia and the late Frank Torch and a graduate of New Philadelphia High School. A man of great faith, and who brought many people to know the Lord, Randy was raised in and still attending the First Church of God at New Philadelphia where he was currently serving on the church’s Elder Board. He loved being with his family and also riding his Indian motorcycle. He was a funny, gentle, generous, kind hearted and humble man and loved by many. The world would be a much better place if there were more people like him.

Also surviving are his two daughters, Jessica (Michael) Rugh of Dover and Brooke (Scott) Jasper of Atwood Lake; his four grandchildren, Kaylee Maurer, Breanna, Hunter and Madison Jasper and his niece, Michelle (Eric) Curry.
