Randy Paul Sonnier, lovingly known as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on March 16, 2024. He was a man of integrity, strength, and compassion whose presence will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Randy was born on August 4, 1950, to his parents, Otis Sonnier and Thelma Durio Sonnier. Alongside his brother, Garland Sonnier, Randy shared many cherished memories growing up in a supportive and loving family environment.

One of Randy's proudest accomplishments was instilling a love for reading and history in his children and grandchildren. His passion for knowledge and learning will continue to inspire future generations within his family.

A man of varied interests, Randy enjoyed spending time solving puzzles, following sports events closely, and above all relishing the joy brought by his beloved grandchildren. His eyes would light up with happiness whenever he was surrounded by Cassidy Arredondo, Jagger Sonnier, Krysten Sonnier, Marlee Sonnier, Aubrey Whitmire, and Beckom Whitmire.

In his journey of life, Randy found unwavering support and boundless love from his wife of 51 years, Mabel Sonnier of Nederland. Together they built a strong foundation based on love and respect that will forever stand as a testament to their enduring bond.

Randy is survived by his wife, Mabel Sonnier; daughter, Melissa Sonnier Whitmire (James) of Port Arthur; sons, Jason Sonnier (Nichole) of Port Neches and Scott Sonnier (Christina) of Port Neches; along with his grandchildren who meant the world to him.

Randy was precede in death by his parents, Otis and Thelma Sonnier, and his brother, Garland Sonnier.

While Randy may no longer be physically present with us, the memories he created with his family and friends will live on eternally in their hearts. He leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and wisdom that will continue to guide those who were fortunate enough to have known him.

Thank you, Mr. Sonnier for being "PawPaw" to Noah. I know how much he cherished his time spent with you and Jagger. All the football games you attended to watch your boys, the many dinners at local resturaunts and just hanging out at your house in Nederland. You truly made an impact in his life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love and prayers to the family.

Randy and I grew up together when he would let me ride his Schwinn bike at Terrell Elementary. Doesn't sound like much but back in the day Randy's bike had a light on it which in those days was special. Randy and I worked together in the crude Division for many years at Texaco and seen some interesting times, which i wont go into. There isn't room to express all the feelings and fond memories of Randy here, so I will just say I will miss Randy just knowing he no longer here is heart breaking, but his obituary says it all. He was loving person and would do anything he could to help.

He was a very loving Uncle and always giving hugs. He did love history and reading. I’m glad I was able to talk with him more while my Dad was sick, and sit with him and talk for a while at my Dad’s celebration of life even though under sad circumstances. You will always be in our hearts Uncle Randy. Love you more.
