Born in Dayton, Texas, on December 29, 1963, Randy was the son of Albert Simmons and Gladys Long. Randy was a man of the simple pleasures in life. He loved being surrounded by his family and friends, who always said he had a smile that was out of this world. Randy was an amazing father, son, brother, and friend that would do anything for anyone because he was such a kind and caring person to everyone he met.
