Randy L. Stahl II, was born,March 28, 1990 in Albert Lea, Minnesota to Jeanette Chapek and Randy Stahl. Proud grandparents, Alvin and Joyce Chapek and Nancy Stahl of Austin, and Robert Stahl of Austin. Great-grandparents Mrs. Anne Chapek, and Mr. & Mrs.Willard Anderson, and Mr. & Mrs. Leroy Stahl, Austin.
Randy was the best baby, when he came home from the hospital he slept throw the night. I was told many time I was a lucky to have a bby that slept at night.
I loved it as Randy got bigger and older the smiles,"everyone " said he was just passing gas. I know. I would look into his eye's and talk to him, as he got older I started to reading to him.
I loved having his picture taken every month, so I would take you to wal-mart and have them done,beside the pictures I took at home.

Boy, you were grandpa Alvin's pride an joy. Even though he first thought he could break you when you can home,"Grandpa said" He's to small for me to hold. That changed so fast, that he would hold you before he go to work and any other time as he wished to.
You and Grandma Joyce are very close, she feed you every chance she could, they love you so much. You are their first Grandchild in the family. That's why I say you were so spoiled by them. |

Randy was living with his dad and step-mom. In Mankato MN. Went To Mankota East High School. Randy had some personal issues that I (mom) put him a treatment center to get him help for the problems at hand. Randy Never Drank,smoked or even tried any drugs. So when he finished treatment the first Time,he came back home and was ok. Then he and his step-dad were not getting along and this kept up for awhile then I had to place him in foster care. Randy bonded with his foster parents and their children.
Then his Social worker had said that they wanted him to go and have an Evalutions done at other treatment Center. So this happened right after his 16 th birthday. Randy went to this place for 30 day's, after that 30 day's if they saw that he needed help and they could help him, Randy would have to go through there treatment program. We had a meeting after the 30 day's and everyone was there to support Randy. When all said and done Randy needed to stay in treatment to get ready for the World.The treat plan has four stages to it; Randy at first did not want to fellow the rules, so hewas on stage 1 for some time,that he was unable to have a pass to leave and be with me (mom) or dad for the 4th of July of 2006. Randy was making small improvements. Randy got to see his parents mostly many time as long as he kept up with the treatment plan. We get though the summer of 2006,he spent time helping out in the nursing homes and the churches. Randy was sure making small improvements, was making me so proud. Randy started his Jounor year of high school; was doing wounderfull when it came to school." Randy didn't all ways like school" . So when I would tlk or recieve letter from Randy's teacher's he was doing great. YA!!!!!!
Thankgiving of 2006 was coming and Randy was trying / working to get a six hour pass to go to dad's house; but Randy's behaviors got in the way and it was denied. That up set him and his parents so we talked to him about not having these behavior or it could stop him from coming home for Christmas. So he worked hard with everything New to him rules and all. Randy was in a play at school, he was lil' Tim's dad In the Play the scough. He as wounderfull job, I saw the play.
Then it was Christmas pass time and Randy once agin got into a fight with staff and other clients at the treatment center. So he could not get a pass to go home. Then I (mom) made plans to see and have lunch with Randy at the center on Chrstmas Eve. Randy and I and grandma Joyce had lunch together and your little Christmas.( only had 2 hours) so the other clients could see there folks too. Randy was really happy he got what he wanted, almost.

So Randy seen us/at least twice a month, or on other occousion that the treament center would be putting on. We dad and I would talk to Randy almost every day by phone while Randy had his phone cards or if we had plans to call him.
See back in December Randy got New clothes for Christmas and they fit him very well.
He calls me, one day in Febraury say's mom I need new pants, I said; what happen to your pants? Randy say they are to short for me.. What are you growing I said? Yes MOM!!! I am growing. Okay well your birthday is coming in March and I will get you some New pants. He told his dad the same thing and his dad got him some pants faster then I did.
Randy got a pass for his birthday to be able to leave the Treatment center for a few hours. HAY!! Randy tures 17 years old, He pick where he wanted to have his birthday supper at, Oliver garden, Randy had steak with noodles he liked it. Then Grandma and myself got him a little chocolete cake and we sang to him. I did bring cupcake to the Center for there night snack.

We went shopping at Wal-Mart after supper and Randy spent some of his money on clothes for summer and did buy 2 pairs of pants, but that's all he bought for him self. He talked grandma and mom into more things for him for his birthday and I planned that I would buy summer clothes for him at Wal-mart. Grandma got him pop, snacks and a phone card. |

Randy died from playing the "choking game". This game is deadly. Parents out there need to be informed about this game. Your children are playing this to get a "high" feeling, they don't even know that while playing it, it kills brain cell's because they are having friends do the choking or choking themselves, If played alone you can and in most case they die.The "GAME" is also known as: pass out, fainting game, blackout, space monkey just to name some.
WARNING SIGNS:,Things to watch for if you might think your child is doing this is: BLOOD SHOT eyes, red marks around the neck, horsey voice, headaches (very offen) locked bedroom doors.
Check your childs closets/room for ropes,scaves.
I found this News article And want to post it here... Beware Of the people we trust with our children.
Camp personal arrested for doing" THE CHOKING GAME" Unbelievable! Camp counselor arrested...
Camp counselor arrested, accused of teaching 'choking game' Friday, April 18, 2008 CHARLESTON, S.C. —
Authorities say a 17-year-old camp counselor has been arrested after teaching the "choking game" to two boys who passed out for several minutes.
Ronald Edward Riley was a counselor at a camp for children of deployed soldiers or those preparing to go overseas. Authorities say he put his hands around a boy's neck and choked him unconscious twice. A second boy also told authorities Riley choked him until he passed out.
Riley, of Saluda, was arrested at his high school this week on assault and unlawful conduct charges. He was being held Friday at a Clarendon County jail on $30,000 bail. Jail officials said they didn't know whether Riley had an attorney.
The game is a fad among youth seeking the euphoric, dreamlike feeling that people get as blood rushes back to the brain.
