Randy Inigo-Jones passed away on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2023, at the age of 65.
He will be remembered by his family, his brother Terry (Karmjit) Inigo-Jones of Calgary; his brother Tony (Valerie) Inigo-Jones, of England, and their children Katy and Clare. He is predeceased by his sister Melanie Johnson of England, who passed away on Jan. 2, 2023, but will be remembered by her husband Ian and their children Jessica, Philip and Lara and their families, including Aoife, Callum and Heide.
He will also be lovingly remembered by his aunt Joan in California and her children Megan and Ian; and by his uncle Elwyn in Ottawa and his children Christina and Julie.
Randy was also predeceased by his mother Shirley Inigo-Jones and his father, Ian Inigo-Jones.
He was born in Arnprior, Ont. The family moved to England in 1966 and settled in the city of Bath.
When he finished school, he went on to become a heavy-plant mechanic. He loved cars and motorcycles, something he shared with his parents and his brothers. His pride and joy was his 1989 Harley-Davidson FXST, on which he had many great journeys, including a trip to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara to visit his California cousins.
Randy moved back to Canada in 1980. He lived in Calgary for the rest of his life, but made trips to Ontario and England to visit family.
He had been looking forward to retirement, but his health had deteriorated in the last few years until he was struck with pancreatic cancer, which proved to be terminal despite Randy fighting tenaciously for 18 months.
A private service will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday, March 6. In-person attendance is by invitation.
In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to your charity of choice in Randy’s name.

Randy was a close friend for 40 odd years. He worked hard all of his life. To be struck down by cancer just as he was easing into retirement was a terrible tragedy. I miss him dearly. My condolences to his family and friends.
Terry + Julie latter + family. says
Terry, Sincere condolences to you and your family. Randy was one of the best people I have ever known and I feel privileged to have known him. He will be missed a lot.

My deepest sympathies to Randy’s friends and family. When I think of Randy, I always remember his intelligence and kindness. He had a good heart and will be missed by many.
James Mitchell says
To his family, sorry for your loss. I worked with Randy for many years and he was a great guy. We swapped a lot of fun and weird stories. He was very smart, but mostly was a nice guy.
Jeff Webster says
Randy, my Brother…knowing that you are no longer in pain eases the horrific loss I feel, but I am so grateful I had the time that I was blessed with spent in your company.
In meeting you, I was drawn not just by your signature style, charisma and kindness, but also because my brain associated Inigo-Jones as near Indiana Jones which amplified your Cool factor exponentially.
Having also had the opportunity to ride alongside on some motorcycle treks together, I also sensed a combination of elements of both Sam Elliot’s and Patrick Swayze’s ‘Roadhouse’ in the manner you carried yourself.
Quiet, infinitely intelligent and a treat to converse with, you inspired me and became a role model to the person I have striven to become.
I’m sorry for ruining The Blair Witch movie with my alcohol fueled run along commentary. Hoping you’ll give me a pass on that one.
I love you, Man. My deepest empathies to your family and all those lives of people you touched and grew to love you. Thank you for being a treasured part of my life.
