RANDALL NELSON Obituary
Randall Ray Nelson Sr. was born on July 23, 1959, in the warm embrace of Mansfield, TX. He graced this world with his presence until March 2, 2025, when he left us in Fort Worth, TX. His departure has cast a shadow of sorrow over those who loved him, but the memories he created remain a beacon of light.
Randall was a loving soul, known above all for the warmth he brought into the lives of others. His humor could lift spirits and turn any frown into laughter; he had an innate ability to find joy in the little things and share it generously. Those who had the privilege of knowing him will remember his infectious laughter and his amusing anecdotes that could brighten even the dullest days.
A hard worker at heart, Randall approached every endeavor with dedication and vigor. He was respected and admired not just for his work ethic but for the kindness he exhibited in every interaction. His colleagues and friends alike will recall his unwavering commitment to excellence and his willingness to lend a helping hand whenever needed.
Randall's zest for life was also evident on the dance floor. He relished in the rhythm of music and the joy of movement, often inviting others to join him in celebration. There was something beautifully liberating about watching him dance; it was as if he poured his heart into every step, creating a connection that transcended words.
A memorial service honoring his life will be held on March 11, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at the Golden Gate Funeral Home in Fort Worth. It will be a time to gather, share stories, and celebrate all that Randall was—a loving father, a cherished friend, and a remarkable man whose spirit will forever resonate with those who loved him.
In our grief, we find solace in recognizing that while he may no longer walk beside us, Randall Ray Nelson Sr. has left an indelible legacy of love, laughter, and life well-lived. His memory will continue to inspire us to dance through life, to find joy amidst the trials, and to cherish each precious moment with those around us.
