Publish in a newspaper

Randall Patterson, 65, passed away on September 25, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee. Born on April 1, 1960, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Randall lived a life rooted in warmth, humor, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys that made each day meaningful.
He was a devoted husband to his wife Louisa, a proud father to his daughter Rachel, and a cherished grandfather to his granddaughter Raeleigh.
His family was the heart of his world, and he found great joy in spending time with them whether gathered around the table sharing stories or exploring the countryside together.
Randall had a lifelong love for the ocean. The rhythm of the waves and the vastness of the sea brought him peace and inspiration. He also had a passion for old cars, often spending hours admiring their craftsmanship or taking leisurely drives down country back roads. These rides were more than just scenic detours they were moments of reflection and connection with nature and memory.
Those who knew Randall remember him as loving, kind, and funny. His sense of humor could light up a room, and his generous spirit left an impression on everyone he met.
Whether catching up with friends or lending a helping hand to someone in need, Randall approached life with sincerity and heart.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Margaret and Hollis Patterson, as well as his brother Ray. Their memories remained close to him throughout his life.
Randall's legacy lives on through the love he shared with his family and friends and the countless moments of laughter and kindness he gave so freely. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
