Randy was educated in the public schools of Richland County graduating from Keenan High School, Class of 1988. After graduating he continued to be a proud Keenan Raider. He was a Machine shop student at Lynnhaven Career Center and continued his studies at Midlands Technical College. His work history included Machine Tool Operator at Koyo Bearings, and main Cook at 76 Truck Stop. Randy was never married and did not have any children; however, he was a proud Uncle to his Nieces and Nephews.
Randy was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ at an early age and filled with the precious gift of the Holy Ghost. He was taught the ways of the Lord and during his extended illness his faith was renewed, and he was at peace with God.
His hobbies included fishing, crossbow shooting, cooking on the grill, eating out with his family, and hanging out with his four brothers.
