Randy “Rupert” Rabehl, 64, of Oshkosh and formally of Fox Lake passed away on Friday, February 7, 2025.

Rupert’s last day on this earth was “Keepin it Reel” on the lake doing what he loves, fishing.

Randy was born to Kenny “Rebel” and Joanne (Borth) Rabehl on March 26, 1960 in Beaver Dam. He was proud to take over the family business from his father becoming owner and operator of Fox Manufacturing in Fox Lake until his retirement just a few short years ago. Randy married the love of his life Arlene on November 30, 2019.

Randy had a heart of gold and was the most loyal dad and friend anyone could ask for. He always made sure to have fun in whatever he was doing. Rupert loved life whether it was taking his treasured 442 to car shows, visiting local establishments for a good steak and Old Fashioned, or “Keepin it Reel” on his boat on Lake Michigan. Fishing was more than a passion for Randy.

Randy is survived by his wife Arlene (Chavaria), his children: Brody Rabehl, Cassandra (Zachary) Scheiber, Joseph (Jamie) Elam, Nicole (Willy) Elam, Vanessa (J.J.) Arra, and Cherry Arra; grandchildren: Kylie, Collin, Cameron, and Addisyn; his siblings: Sherri Garcia and Chuck (Cheri) Rabehl; Uncle William (Eileen) Borth; his go to guy Jerry Farley; and the best fishing buddies Doug (Julio) Hammes and Brock Schmidt. . He was also survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and many other friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.

A time of gathering for Randy will be held at the Koepsell-Murray Funeral Home in Beaver Dam on Saturday, February 15, 2025 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

While our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing Randy was where he wanted to be, surrounded by nature, rod in hand, chasing the next big catch. May the waters always be calm, the fish always biting and the sunsets always be golden!! Tight lines forever…Rupert.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Clausen Park Project in Fox Lake.

Arlyne,
Tracy and I are so sorry for your loss. Randy was such a great person and friend. We are so fortunate to have met both of you and able to spend time together on the lake. Randy's laugh was so contagious, positive and uplifting. Randy was the first to volunteer to go out on my big boat with me for a trial run before my first charter. He put me at ease with his laughs and enthusiasm. We will miss our time together on the dock, Bloody Mary bar and fishing. Please know we are here for you and Randy will always live on in our hearts.💕 Keepin It Reel

Randy was my slip neighbor for several years in port, I will truly miss our talks and be joking around all summer, the marina and my summers will not be the same without him! God speed buddy. And always fish on!!!

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We are so very sorry for your loss. You are all in thoughts and prayers. Love, Cindy, Austin, Aaron, Kiara, Alexx and Ajay.

My deepest sympathy to Arlene and the entire family. We were very fortunate to know Randy through my brother, Doug (Julio). Randy & Arlene sponsored our race team several years and attended many races to cheer on our son. It was always a great time when Randy and Arlene were in attendance. Their laughs and happy personalities were so contagious! Randy and Arlene shared such a great Love! Randy will be greatly missed. Prayers for the family and huge hugs to Arlene. We love you! Scott & Dawn Weiss and the Entire Scott Weiss Racing Team #53!

My heart goes out to his family and friends. I babysat for him when he was young. Loved his family who were great people

Randy was a great friend and an even better person, he will be missing.
