Randy suffered from severe cardiomyopathy that left him in a coma, confined to a hospital bed and struggling to stay alive. Every day his condition got worse and worse. For doctors, the end result was his passing and they urged Randy’s wife to pull the plug.

“Life was minute to minute. They said ‘pull the plug, there’s no hope.”

She told USA Today that any chance of him making it out of a coma was enough for her to hold onto hope.
