Not sure what to say?

His love was for the many. It was only exceeded by his compassion and his care for others. If you knew Randy Edwards, "you also knew Love".


A good man, so sorry for your loss. Everytime I see a Shriners van going up and down the highway he and mr. Collins come to mind. They have done so much for the children, that it can't be measured. Prayers for the Edwards family.

Early on in my time in Rome, GA, Brother Randy took me under his Masonic wing and was highly instrumental in hooking me up with other Masons and leading me in the steps it took to become a Shriner. His friendship, leadership, and kindness cause me to be deeply saddened on learning of his passing. I pray for God's loving arms to wrap the family into His peace and comfort.
