Obituary of Ian Leslie Roberts Ranger

Ian Leslie Roberts Ranger, 40, of Randolph tragically passed away October 27^th, 2024. He was born on August 6^th, 1984, and grew up in Randolph, NJ.

Ian was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle, and friend. He was a man of many passions, including an artist, musician, woodworker, scuba diver and a lover of the environment. In recent years he volunteered with the Randolph Rescue Squad and worked as a diver to clean up Green Pond Lake in Rockaway Township—he genuinely loved helping others.

His daughter, Charlotte, was the light of his life. He loved her more than anything and they shared a love of the water. Ian was incredibly proud of the amazing swimmer that Charlotte has become. He also adored his nieces and nephew, and they were equally obsessed with their Uncle Ian. During family parties Ian would often be playing the guitar & singing silly songs while Kenzie, Allie, Emmie, Kenna and Clara danced around their grandparents living room.  Ian had a tremendous heart and the sweetest soul and will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

Ian is survived by his loving parents Andrew and Laurel Ranger; his beloved daughter Charlotte Roeland; his brother Tavis & wife Ashley Ranger and their three children, Mackenzie, Alexandra, and Emmeline; his brother Derek & wife Kristen Ranger and their three children, Kenna, Clara and Colton; his Aunt Candace McKee and her daughter Samantha Berger; his Uncle Wesley McKee & Aunt Adrianna Baudry and their sons, Russell and Eric; his Uncle Charles and Auntie Sylvia in Canada, and many other loving family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Leslie and Joyce Ranger and Albert and Doris McKee.
