Ronald Melvin Randall, age 67, of Gulfport, passed away on December 31, 2025, in Gulfport.
Mr. Randall was born to Richmond Carl Randall, Jr. and Annie Ruth Rouse Randall. He graduated from Gulfport East High School, attended MGCCC, and graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi. He was a history buff and enjoyed learning about World War II. He had several occupations before retiring as a Telecommunications Specialist in the field of IT after many years.
Ronald brought joy and laughter into the lives of those around him. He was truly a jokester, always ready with a quick quip or a funny story that would light up the room. A passionate golfer, Ronald loved spending time on the course. He also had a great fondness for video games. He really enjoyed movies and sharing those stores with family.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and sister, Elizabeth Jo Randall.
Ronald is survived by his children, Kyle David Randall (Dani) and Emma Irene Randall (fiancée, Zachary Blesi); siblings, Rich Randall (Cherie), Debra Randall, and Pamela Gunkel (Andy); grandsons, Sirius and Augustine Randall; nieces and nephews, Stephanie Parsons (Nathan), Corey Gunkel (Karen), Katie Eleazer (Terry), Abbie Gunkel; great nieces and nephews, Zoey and Eliza Parsons, Russell Eleazer, and Mila Gunkel.
