Randal Horton Obituary

Randy was born Sept. 7, 1969, in Azle, the son of Forrest and Dorothy Horton. He was full of life and lived it to its fullest and made sure everyone around him lived that way. Randy had a smile for everyone; he never met a stranger and considered everyone a friend. Anyone who ever spoke to Randy walked away with a "Randy story." Randy loved his family and was very proud of all of his nieces and nephews. He was a very supportive uncle, making all the events they were involved in. Randy made sure he kept them in line and kept them smiling. He had the gift of laughter and shared it with everyone. Randy's happiness was contagious. He loved to visit and have his family around. Randy loved to tell his stories. He was the rock of his family and will be greatly missed, but not forgotten. There will be "Randy stories" for years and years to come.
Randy was preceded in death by a great-nephew, Tristan Boston, and his grandparents, B.F. and America Horton and Barney Sr. and Nina Haugen.
Survivors: Parents, Forrest and Dorothy Horton; brothers, Jack Horton and Jammie and Timmy "Timo" Horton and wife, Teresa; sister, Valerie "Bal" Logan and husband, Eddie; nephews, Peyton Logan and Kylar Horton; nieces, Whitney Horton and David Boston, Brooke Horton and Charlie Davis, Madison Horton, Krystal Horton, Kyndal Horton, Blaire Logan and Bailee Logan; great-nephew, Caleb Boston; numerous other relatives; and a town full of friends.

I was surprised to learn of Randy's passing. I only think of him in the context of my childhood, playing in the sunny yard with Valerie and me. Randy will forever be the beautiful child with the quick laugh and fabulous smile as I travel back into the memories of my childhood. I realize how wonderful it is to have him forever there... My heart is with each of you.

I was very sorry to hear about Randy passing. I know that he and all of you touched my life and I will not forget you. It was my pleasure to help care for Randy while he was with us on Harris 7. He lit up our floor when he was here. I know that he will be missed but I also believe that he would want you to focus on all the good times that you had. Just think of how he is lighting up Heaven now! God bless you all and know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

TO THE FAMILY, IT WAS SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE KNOWN RANDY AND TO HAVE TAKEN CARE OF HIM AS WELL. HE WAS THE SUNSHINE WE NEEDED ON HARRIS 7TH FLOOR. HE WAS OUR RANDY. HIS SMILE MADE YOU SMILE, HIS WARM TOUCH MADE YOU FEEL AT EASE. HE HAD A HEART BIG AS ANY TALL BUILDING IN THE WORLD. HE LOVED HIS FAMILY AND HIS FAMILY LOVED HIM BACK. GOD HAS A MAIL BOX FOR RANDY, SO HE CAN RECEIVE HIS MAIL UP THERE. MY RANDY MAY BE GONE FROM THIS EARTH, BUT HIS MEMORY WILL CARRY ON FOR A LIFE TIME. LET HIM REST MOMA AND DADDY, LET HIM REST NOW.

To the Horton Family, I worked with Mr. Horton , "Horton" as we called him then,for several years in the 80s and early 90s. He was our supervisor in DEPT. 39 at General Dynamics. Mr. Horton talked often of his Family and how Proud he was of all of them. May The Lord look down upon you, watch over, Bless, and guide you in this difficult time. Our thoughts and Prayers are with all The Horton Family. Rick & Tina McLendon

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
