David Randolph was born June 12, 1951 in Hopkins, Soutj Carolina to the late Earnest and Jannie J. Randolph. He passed away December 8, 2016 at the age of 65.

He was educated in the public schools of Richland County, graduating from Hopkins High School. He served honorably in the United States Army for many years, retiring in 2004 as a Master Sergeant from McEntire Joint National Guard Base in Eastover, South Carolina.

David exemplified what it meant to be a man of God; a man of morals; a man of compassion; a sober man; and a loving husband father, brother and friend. He was a giving man; but to sum it all up, he was a Godly kind of many who was obedient to the will of God. He was a mighty man of valor, full of honor, courage and strength. He proved that to be true when he faced with his final battle here on earth with bravery, knowing that at the end he would be at peace with his Father. Yes, we all loved him, but this was not his home. He is finally free in the arms of God.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories, his wife, Vera J. Randolph; four sons: Mark Anthony Randolph, Tarris C. Randolph, David Maurice Randolph and Kelley A. Randolph, and a stepson, Devin Jackson; his daughter, Shannon L. Randolph, and stepdaughter, Natasha N. Jackson; eight grandchildren; one brother, Ernest Randolph, Jr.; three sisters; Betty Mays, Virginia (John) Marsh and Ann Elizabeth Randolph; six brothers-in-law and four sisters-in-law; seven uncles and ten aunts; a special nephew, Calvin G. Mays; his caregiver, Lakeshia Rivers; and a host of nieces, nephews, other loving relatives and dear friends.
