Randy had a whimsical sense of humor and had gained many, many friends over the years. He was dearly loved by his family and was well known for his very kind heart. He was extremely smart, excelling academically in school, especially in computer science where as a student he taught adults how to use computers in business. He was a member of the golf team and showed his acting talents in the drama club. Graduating from Callisburg (Texas) High School in 1983, he went on to earn a bachelor's degree and then master's degree in computer science at Texas A&M University.
Randy was enrolled in the cradle roll department at the Grand Avenue Baptist Church at less than a week old. He was a very active member there until he left Gainesville to attend college.
He was truly at one with nature, climbing and hiking many mountains. He loved to explore the outdoors and had a strong affinity for trees. He grew closer to God through nature.
