Yesterday was a powerful reminder of what family truly means in the towing community. We want to say THANK YOU to everyone who came out to honor and pay tribute to Randy, a father, grandpa, friend, and fellow tow truck driver.

The love, support, and respect shown by so many tow truck drivers, family, friends, and community members meant more than words can express. Seeing everyone come together to honor his life and sacrifice was both heartbreaking and beautiful. There was about 60+ tow trucks helping ‘Light up the Road for Randy’.

Thank you for standing with us, for your prayers, and for helping us honor a life that touched so many. Please continue to keep his loved ones, Jude’s family, and our towing families in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Rest easy our friend, we’ll drag your chains from here.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our very own Randy Kuntsman.

For over 20+ years, Randy was a tow truck operator here at Jude’s Auto Repair and Towing, he was not only a friend/coworker, but he was also family. His dedication, hard work, and loyalty helped build our company into what it is today. Through long days, late nights, and countless calls, he showed up with strength, compassion, and a willingness to help anyone in need.

He touched so many lives, not only through his work but through his kindness, humor, and the relationships he built over the years. He will be deeply missed by all of us – our team, our customers, and this entire community.

We are grateful for the 20+ years we were blessed to work alongside him and for the memories we will carry forever.

Please keep his family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Randy. Thank you for everything. You will NEVER be forgotten.

Kentucky: Green lights on tow trucks - Troy's Law, named after tow truck driver Troy Caldwell who was killed on the job in September 2024, has been approved by the House Standing Committee on Transportation and now advances to the Kentucky House of Representatives. The bill would allow tow trucks to be equipped with one or more flashing, rotating, or oscillating green lights to alert drivers to slow down and move over.
