    I am so blessed to have known Randy. We met through rescue and he and Melissa were always supportive of my rescue efforts. Many times they would be my saving grace even when I felt like I had nowhere else to turn. He was always smiling. Always laughing. Always there to help a friend in need. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. I can only hope to find him again one day in heaven. Good people like Randy are rare and I’m blessed and so grateful to have had him for a friend. Rest and rock on in heaven now Randy.

    Randy was always a joy to be around and he will be greatly missed. I pray that Melissa, Britny and the rest of his loving family find strength during this time and that they can truly celebrate a life well lived. While the music he played through his phone on the juke box at The Lantern was not quite to my taste, it never took away from the times I enjoyed being in his presence.

    Neal and Judy. I was shocked to hear about your Randy. What a tragic loss for your family. I can’t begin to imagine what you all must be going through. I can only say my heart goes out to all of you. At times like this the new system can’t come quick enough. Please be assured of our warmest love. May Jehovah wrap you in his strong arms of comfort in your time of need.

    We have so many great memories with Randy. As teenagers, a lot of football playing on the east side of Plano, listening to “Kiss” on the way to school, & laughing at his crazy shenanigans. So sorry for this tremendous loss to his family

    Our hearts are saddened by a life lost too soon. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but if Randy was anything like his parents; he was loyal, hardworking, hilarious and very much dearly loved by all who knew him. Sending my deepest condolences and prayers for peace for you and your family.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
