Rand Simon Gurvitz, born July 4, 1953, in Oakland, California, passed away peacefully at 6:42 a.m. on September 15, 2025.
Beloved cousin, uncle, friend, and devoted father to his four-legged companion, Maggie.
Rand was preceded in passing by his father, Monroe Gurvitz; mother, Adele Gurvitz; and brother, Barry Gurvitz.
For over 40 years, Rand was a talented and dedicated local hair stylist, bringing joy and style to his clients and community. He will be remembered for his warm spirit, quick wit, and the kindness he extended to all who knew him.
Rand was interred with his family at Home of Eternity off Piedmont Avenue, Oakland. His early morning texts and thoughtful gestures will be deeply missed. Per his wishes, there will be no formal celebration of life or funeral.
Rand fought the fight, and he did it his way. Please raise a glass in his memory.
Donations in Rand's memory can be made to Project Street Vet or UC Davis Veterinary School.
