I was Randy's teacher and coach at IBSSS. I was sad to just read of his passing. He was fun to work with and always positive. He worked hard in the wrestling and when he one his first match we all thought he was an olympic champion. To me he will always be a champion. By the grace of God may he rest in peace.

Randy has taught me that you don't have to have eyes to see; but to see with your heart. And that he DID; But with a BIG, LOVING one that HE had. He will be truly missed; although it sounds like a cliche; it's meant to be more. I Love YOU Randy. But, He knew that. Du'Ane D. Ebner Fisher
