Randy Budd was a resident of Uniontown, Ohio. He was married to Sharon Budd. Budd attended University of Akron.

On August 6, 2016 Budd was found dead inside his Uniontown, Ohio residence from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. ^[1] He and his wife were the only ones in the house at the time. Budd had texted his loved ones telling them he loves them. ^[1]

Budd became known in central Pennsylvania because of the extended period he was in the area while Sharon Budd was in intensive care. ^[1]

Sharon Budd suffered severe head injuries and lost an eye after a 4 ½-pound rock was thrown from an overpass west of Route 15 just before midnight in what was known as Interstate 80 rock throwing. The rock smashed the windshield of the car in which she was a front seat passenger. ^[1]

She has undergone seven surgeries, losing part of her brain and one of her eyes, meaning she requires round the clock care at home.

Budd and his wife help push for new rules in Ohio requiring any new or rehabbed bridges over busy highways to be topped with chain-link fencing to deter vandals.
