John Randall “Randy” Crocker, 68, of Calhoun, departed this life on Sunday, February 9, 2025, after several years of declining health.
Randy was born in Cedartown, Georgia, on May 13, 1956, the son of the late Frank and Mary Shaw Crocker. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by infant daughters, Madelynn and Miranda Crocker,
He was a member of the 1976 graduating class of Calhoun High School and had been employed by Rome Coca-Cola Bottling Company and Rental Uniform Services of Calhoun.
His favorite hobby was working on cars. His sister, Diane, said, “Brothers are what best friends can never be. Because I have a brother, I will always have a friend. A brother is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.”
Randy was a great storyteller. He could make people laugh even though you knew everything he said was not true.
Survivors include his son, Randolph Crocker; grandchildren, Madelynn and Winston Crocker; brother, Billy Crocker; sister, Diane Smith; nephew, Trey Crocker; nieces, Tatum Crocker Sosa, Jaime Ralston Garrett, and Kayla Ralston.
A gathering of family and friends in his memory will be held Thursday, February 13th, between the hours of 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM in the chapel of Max Brannon & Sons Funeral Home.
The Brannon family and staff are honored to serve the family of John Randall “Randy” Crocker.
