Randy and I went to Batesville High and graduated together in 1987. He was a close friend for so many years. We ran track and had lots of classes together. Many fond memories of us antagonizing Coach Jones and running about Batesville. He and his family were the best and treated me like family. I will miss my friend. Love you Randy!
Prayers for his family.

Played football with Randy. Although he was a senior while I was a sophomore, he was always kind and treated us as equals. Loved talking about and listening to music with him. Last time I saw him was at the Mini KISS concert at The Melba. Randy was loved and will be missed. Love to his family. Let God’s consoling hand rest on you and guide you through this difficult time.
