Randy Joe Schmitt, age 71 of Dickson Tennessee passed away Wednesday, January 1, 2025, at Horizon Medical Center in Dickson, Tennessee. He was born July 12, 1953, in Charleston, Illinois to Norman and Donna Schmitt

Randy dedicated over 40 years of his life to the craft of carpentry, where his meticulous attention to detail and passion for building were evident in every project he undertook. His hands, skillful and steady, shaped not just wood but also the home and heart of his family. He poured his heart into every project, building homes and dreams for countless families. His attention to detail and passion for his work transformed ordinary spaces into welcoming havens.

Outside of work, Randy found immense joy in riding his motorcycle. The open road called to him, offering freedom that matched his adventurous spirit. Those who had the pleasure of accompanying him on long rides remember the laughter and stories shared, creating memories that will forever echo in their hearts.

Above all, Randy loved his family fiercely. He nurtured relationships with warmth and devotion, always ensuring his loved ones felt valued and supported. His ability to connect with others was a gift he shared generously, leaving a lasting legacy of love and friendship.

As we remember Randy Joe Schmitt, we celebrate a life well-lived—one characterized by hard work, adventure, and an unwavering love for family.
