Obituary for LAMOUR


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Friday July 04, 2008

RANDALL JOSEPH, JR. When he departed from his human form on Monday, June 23, 2008 in Albuquerque, NM, Randall Joseph Lamour, had lived almost 31 years. The story of his life would seem unlikely or even impossible to many. Born on July 29, 1977, in Springfield, MA, he traveled the continent extensively: writing and performing music; researching and seeking minerals; protecting; instructing; challenging; uplifting; exploring; bestowing blessings on anyone who befriended him. With a spirit that extends far beyond the confines of flesh and blood, his journeys continue on; his inner fire ever radiating love, strength, and devotion to its highest purpose. Always blazing new trails and expanding the threshold of possibility, he dedicated his energies to inner progress; new growth, and enlightenment of his brothers and sisters on earth. Healer; musician; traveler; scientist; writer; inventor; mentor; husband; father; friend; he has and will continue to be an inspiration to his human family for lifetimes to come. Through the gifts of his music, writing, art, and beautiful daughter, his legacy continues to unfold.In three decades, he experienced, studied, and created more than most people would dream of in a century. He was a man of extraordinary vision, passion, and conviction. His soul inhabits vast depths and untold heights; his influence reaches past the limits of this planet. The glow of his smiling face could light up a city, and the memories he has left us shine with that same light. In his life as in his death; Randall Joseph Lamour embodies the reality that We All Shine On.His wife of ten years, Erinn Manning Lamour; and three year old daughter, Zurial Azure Lamour, are first among countless loved ones who have been impacted by his death. On Saturday, July 5, 2008 at 10 a.m., a gathering at Los Ranchos Park will take place to honor the life of Randall Joseph Lamour.
