Randell R Sidebottom

Randell R. Sidebottom died at Paramount Nursing Home in Newton, Kansas, at the age of 72.

He was born to Gertrude and Ronald Sidebottom in Kinsley, Kansas on March 10, 1954. He graduated from Kinsley High School and became an electrician, eventually building his own house in Ingalls. He married and divorced, then remarried in 1986 to Christine Frazier. They had two children together, Garrett and Kailei, and continued to live in Ingalls as the kids grew up.

Randell was a concrete man, doing much of his work independently in concrete and carpentry for Sidebottom Construction. Along with his job, Randell was creative enough to build a home that was made up of materials from other jobs he had done, and artistic feat that drew the attention of colleges and local newspapers for the unique construction and design. His attention to detail was noted, along with the carious materials he worked with.

Mr. Sidebottom was survived by his children, Garrett Sidebottom of Newton, Kailei (Pablo) Ramirez of Hesston, along with their three children, Romeo, Elliot, and Sonny. Along with them are daughter, Amanda Hallmark and son Alan of Alameda, California, as well as Travis (Leatta) Adams and children, including Madison and Mayden of Wichita.

There are also five siblings and families, including Sonya Hammerschmidt of Elkhart; Shayla (Jerry) Knight of Collinsville, Oklahoma; Troy (Tammi) Sidebottom of Kinsley; John (Daniela) Sidebottom of Macomb, Michigan; and Shandon Sidebottom. Christine and Curis Allen have been caregivers during recent years.
