Feb 13, 2026

Randal "Randy" J. Wood passed away quietly in his home Feb. 13, 2026, surrounded by his family and friends. Randy was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. His parents, John and Virginia Wood, owned The Woodshed on 3rd Avenue in downtown Anchorage. He attended East High School and graduated in 1971. Randy became a Master Electrician and was an active member of the IBEW. His intense love for music led him to play the drums. It also sparked a keen interest in Hi End electronics and music reproduction. An interest in sports cars led him to be a member of The Porsche Club of Anchorage, competing in local rallies. Motorcycles were yet another passion, and he enjoyed spirited runs as well as long extended trips. Woodworking played an important role in his life as well. He excelled in making fine wooden objects as well as exotic stands for his artist wife Mary Mueller-Wood and her artwork. Randy's ability to make anything with his hands led him and his wife to completely remodel two homes. The couple left Alaska in 2014 and moved to Camas, Wash., in a quiet rural area. Randy could make almost anyone laugh, and his outgoing personality, dry sense of humor, and his quips and one-liners will be missed by all those that loved him.

Randy was preceded in death by his parents John and Virginia Wood. He is survived by his wife, Mary Mueller-Wood; daughter, Whitney Wood; and brother, Jeff Wood.
