I just saw the news that Randy died last year of cancer. My heart goes out to the Parton family. Randy will be missed by his many fans. My daughter just fell in love with Randy on her first visit to Dolly Wood when she was just two and a half years old. He asked her to come up on stage with him because she had on a cowboy hat and cowboy boots. He was all she could talk about. So glad I have pictures of them together. RIP Randy.

I met Randy back in the 80's at Opryland USA when he was there with Barbara Mandrell and many times backstage at the Grand Ole Opry when I was there with my friend & Grand Ole Opry member Jean Shepard. Randy was so fun and full of life & such a talented singer, and song writer. I am blessed to have met him and so sorry to see that he had passed. My prayers are with his wife and family .

I am 43 years old and I grew up going to Dollywood every year for vacation. We never missed Randy’s show! My Dad had been going to the Smokey’s since the 60’s with his grandfather. I can remember meeting Randy after his show on many occasions. We also ran into him with his family once at Shonet’s in Pigeon Forge. I have a lot of great memories of those vacations and seeing Randy every year. I am sad that he is gone and I am praying for his family. I lost my Daddy to cancer over 16 years ago but my comfort is that he isn’t suffering anymore I miss him everyday as I know Randy’s family will miss him. My families prayers are with the Parton family.

Deb and Heidi my heart is broken and crushed over the loss of such a great man and the greatest singer. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I have some great memories visiting you at your house and us going out to eat. Randy is the reason I would go to Dollywood to see his show. He was so happy when Heidi started singing with him. Randy really loved his family and was so proud of you. He will always be in my heart for I always felt like part of the family. R.I.P. my handsome Friend and we will see each other again one day. Deb, Heidi and your family I'm praying for God to help you through this. Now he is an Angel in Heaven singing and being with Tever and the rest of his family.
