Randy said he met the love of his life, Shawna Leigh Seidel, while dragging Main Street in Vici in his 1968 camero. Randy and Shawna were married on April 4, 1980 by Brother Bob McCracken at the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn. Their first child, Jeremey Dale, was born on December 20, 1981. Their home was blessed with a second child, Ashley Nicole, on October 10, 1983. In 1985, Randy and his dad started building the family's new home, the home where they still abide. They received help from numerous family and church friends while building their home. Randy was blessed with great carpentry skills and was known for his perfectionism. He took great pride in carpentry work and did the job as though he was doing it for himself.

On October 18, 1985, Randy was baptized by Brother Benny Joe Watkins into the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn. He was always ready and willing to go help on any church construction. He helped on the new church, remodeled bathrooms, kitchens, or whatever the need was. He cared about the brethren, and was blessed with a meek and quiet spirit. He was faithful to see the sick and to help others in financial need. Helping others and visiting the widows was very important to him. Randy was a kind and loving husband, father, and Papa. His family was very dear to him. In 1988, Shawna was afflicted and down for fourteen years. Randy cared for Shawna and stood by her side. During this time Randy started his own business, Randy Burba Construction, and also started working for the Vici Nursing Home as their maintenance man and carpenter.

Randy hobbies included reading his Bible and spending time with his grandchildren. Most of Randy's evenings were spent with his grandson Titus, who he was like a father to. Shawna always knew when Randy was home from work because Titus would look out the window and yell "Papa's truck, Papa's home!" Randy also had two precious granddaughters, Trinitee and Torren, who were always excited to see Papa or go for a ride with Papa and Gea.
