Andrea Murray Call, BHS '82 (1964-2026)


Andrea "Andi" Murray Call
September 3, 1964 - June 5, 2026

So very sad... please keep the family in your prayers...

Obituary

After a brief illness, Andrea passed away on June 5, 2026 at Renown Medical Center. All of those who loved her were by her side.

Andrea was born in Burbank, California and loved spending time at the beach and on the ocean, deep sea fishing. She loved gardening, feeding wild birds and hummingbirds in her yard and she also enjoyed watching the wild horses that would occasionally visit her neighborhood. But most of all, she loved being a mother and spending time with her daughter, Hannah. She was an Office Manager at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank for many years before moving to Reno in 2002. For a few years, she was the smiling face to greet you at Granite Construction before she truly found her niche as a "Lunch Lady" for the Washoe County School district. She was loved by many of the students at Depoali Middle School and also Marce Herz Middle School in South Reno, where she was retiring as the Kitchen Manager on June 5th.

Andrea and her husband Warren Call had looked forward to enjoying retirement together, however, he passed away suddenly on May 29, 2026. Andrea is survived by her daughter, Hannah (Cody) of Reno, her mother Helen of Reno, her sister Terry of Sparks and her stepmother Dorothy of Sparks.

She will be cremated and her ashes will be spread in all of her favorite places. Her family is deeply saddened by this unexpected passing. She had so many plans for her upcoming retirement and future. Her family thanks all of those who were praying for her recovery while she was in the hospital. She will be greatly missed by those who loved her and she will live on forever in our hearts.

At this time, there is no plans for a Celebration of Life.

Randy Morales, BHS '82 (1964-2011)


Tragically in 2011, Randy Morales, BHS '82 and two-time winner of the Baja 1000, went missing. It wasn't until 2017 DNA confirmed that he had passed away. 


Randy at 21 years old

2011 ARTICLE (Posted on Facebook 5 years ago by Linda Mustion)
PRESCOTT, Ariz. - The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in locating Randy Morales, a 47-year-old Prescott man who was last seen on July 18.

He left his home in his father's Jeep, which was found on August 4, ten miles off Dugas Road northeast of Cordes Junction. It was out of gas.

Morales apparently has a history of drug abuse and depression. His credit card use ended on the 18th.

Detectives don't know if he attempted to go hiking, got a ride, or abandoned the vehicle by other unknown means.

Morales is described as a dark-skinned Caucasian, with blue eyes and black hair greying on the sides. He is 5' 8" tall and 215 pounds.

Family members and friends put up fliers in northern Arizona.

Morales' family says he does not have his medication with him.

1986 LA TIMES ARTICLE
Desert Warfare : It's No Pleasure Cruise When Randy Morales Defends His Baja 1000 Title
By Heather Hafner
November 6, 1986

Randy Morales sits on the edge of an oversize easy chair clenching his hands slowly and craning his neck toward the open door with each car that passes the one-story Burbank house. The behavior of the tense and expectant Morales is in direct contrast to his conversational manner and relaxed dress of jeans, tennis shoes and white T-shirt.

Morales--out of his element in the warm and secure surroundings of his parents' home--is waiting for an integral part of his world. Honda, his sponsor, is shipping him a new motorcycle, a modified XR-600cc four-stroke racing machine that Morales has no intention of driving on city streets.

As the sun's first light flirted with the Mexican desert this morning, Morales and 240 competitors in 31 divisions departed from Ensenada for the start of the 19th SCORE International Baja 1000. On the desert, Morales doesn't do any hand-clenching. He's in his element.

Morales, 22, became the race's youngest winner when partnered with Chuck Miller in 1984 and then won again last year. Favored in this year's 1,013-mile trek to La Paz, Morales could become the first rider to win three straight championships. Splitting the riding time with him will be 22-year-old Randy Norman of San Diego.

A victory would also enable Morales to successfully defend his U.S. Off-Road Motorcycle Championship. He must place in front of overall point-leader Dan Smith to retain the plate as the national titlist. Smith will be riding with four-time winner Larry Roeseler, who was awarded last year's Baja championship before being dropped to ninth place for missing one of the race's eight mandatory checkpoints.

"He's the fastest," Morales said of Smith. "Him and his partner, Larry Roeseler, they're my main competition."

But there are others.

Miller, also a member of Team American Honda, will have a shot at the title. They no longer ride together because Honda wanted to enter two teams of equal strength, Morales said.

"Chuck will be tough to beat this year," Morales said. "We're real good buddies, but we have a thing going. Just mind games. We can go into a race and go toe to toe and afterwards take our helmets off and laugh about it. But when we're on the course it's a different ballgame. When we have our helmets on, it's like a war. Everyone's in it for themselves."

The stakes are higher than a mere racing title.

Although winners in each division split 50% of the total entry fees of $500 per team, they make even more money--in Morales' case, enough to live on--from companies whose products they use. Winning riders, of course, receive plump contract offers for future races.

"I have a lot of sponsors," Morales said, "and if I win, that's were I'll make a lot of the money. That's were you make the big money. People want me to ride their product. You have to figure out what's going to pay better. It gets to be fun."

The Baja, considered the most prestigious off-road event in the U.S., is certainly no pleasure cruise. It's man against desert, and financial motivations alone are insufficient to carry a rider through 18-plus hours of dust, ditches, stray animals and the mental torture that accompanies a night of riding through the desert's darkness.

The most dangerous of obstacles are often unexpected.

"When you come over a hill and it's warm at night, you have to slow down because there's going to be a herd of cows in the middle of the road," Morales said. "You've got to know these things. Some guys don't realize it and they go banzai into the cows and crash. Their race is over."

Morales competes in District 37 races during the year but said the shorter races do little to properly prepare him for the rigors of the Baja. So Morales and Norman departed for Mexico several weeks ago and raced the course three times. This year's course presents even more than the usual myriad of problems.

It is the first time the course will exceed 1,000 miles, making it nearly 200 miles longer than last year's Ensenada-to-San Felipe loop. The one-way format, which will crisscross the Trans-Peninsular Highway, does not enable pit crews to set up on permanent sites throughout the course and is burdensome to the racers' chase vehicle, said SCORE race director Steve Kassanyi, so the chances of getting lost become greater on an unfamiliar course.

"There is an added element of fatigue on the rider and the co-rider," Kassanyi said. "It's harder to switch for relief in the point-to-point race. In a loop race, the obvious burdens are removed. People have been able to plan early enough to have permanent pits in place in points where they're not able to have the chase crews."

While the racers wind their way south through crowded city streets, long stretches of highway, and off-road conditions that test even the most experienced riders, Morales' chase crew--consisting of his parents, and mechanic Sean Largey--will follow closely, driving mostly on the highway.

Norman, a 6-4, 220-pounder, will ride the first 200 miles before Morales gives him a break for the next 100 miles. Norman will then ride 300 miles before Morales finishes the last 400 in darkness.

"It's really dangerous," Morales said. "Your mind starts wandering, you start seeing things. It's real spooky. It's six or seven hours on the bike, straight ahead. You've got to keep your eyes moving and concentrate from corner to corner. A lot of things can happen. Your lights can go out, you can get lost."

Morales nearly withdrew from his first Baja race when his lights failed in the middle of the night. But he was saved by a battery-powered miner's lamp he wore on his head.

"I would come in, I had my little miner's light on, and the battery pack would be worn out," Morales said. "I couldn't even see where I was going. We thought our race was over."

Norman, who served as an alternate for Morales and Derek Paiment in last year's race, recognizes Morales' persistence as a key factor in the young rider's success.

"You can get a mental block from riding at night," Norman said. "But I think we're both plenty strong, and Randy's done it enough times."

Bill Morales, who introduced his son to racing via his own experience as a weekend racer, understands Randy's desert passion.

"There's nothing like it," Bill Morales said. "A lot of it you just have to learn. These people think you get on a motorcycle and you're a racer. But you're not. There's a lot more to it.

"There's something about it, once you do it once. Just like you wonder why people sky dive. It just grows on you."

Randy, who started riding a mini bike in his backyard at the age of 4, won his first race--the Las Vegas Mini Mint--at age 15. He rode without a partner in the 50-team, two-man race and won by more than six minutes. He went on to win the state championship in the 100cc Trans-AME series in 1978, the Amateur Supercross at Anaheim Stadium in '80 and the '82 Mammoth Motocross.

Before he took on deserts, Morales did his maneuvering on the football field. He was the MVP on Burbank High's football team as a senior fullback and strong safety. He was also a catcher for Burbank during baseball season.

"When he was here at Burbank three years ago, I didn't even know he was a motocross racer," Burbank baseball Coach Leonard Haynes said. "He's just a super nice kid. Here he won the Baja two years in a row, and you could be with him all day and he'd never mention it."

Although Morales was successful in athletics, his career choice was never in question. He lived to race.

But in 1982, he met with difficulty when he turned professional. Morales raced for Yamaha but didn't have a victory in his rookie season. He managed to finish third the following year in a field of more than 1,200 at the Barstow-to-Las Vegas race.

He won his first professional race in 1984, defeating his nearest competitor--a Porsche Turbo--by more than 1 hour, 53 minutes in his first Baja race.

Morales was deluged with contract offers. "That was my first big break," Morales said. "All of the sudden, the phone starting ringing as soon as I got home."

Morales suffered setbacks each time he changed sponsors. He rode this season for M-Star, a German company, but his motorcycle consistently broke down, he said, and he finished only one race in two months.

"He's had a terrible year as far as his bikes falling apart," Haynes said. "But it's amazing that any bike can stay together underneath him. He rides so hard. He seems like such a quiet and nice kid, and then there he is on the desert racing at 100 m.p.h."

Said Morales: "I got really depressed. My confidence was down. I didn't charge anymore. It was like 'Why try?' when I knew the bike was going to break."

His depression triggered another change. But under contract to Sweden's Husqvarna, Morales finished only one of three races, placing fourth in the Baja 500. After he returned to the Honda ranks, Morales' career has normalized.

In case his career slows down again, Randy has plans to follow his father into the family contracting business.

"I'm fine right now and I don't need to work," Morales said. "But I want something to fall back on. What happens when I'm not fast and I can't race anymore? I want to be able to do something."

For now his thoughts are on the Baja.

"This has been my worst year, but now it's starting to come back together," Morales said. "I'm back on track. I have a good chance of winning it again. And that's never been done before."
