Randall Coy Smith, 69, of Fort Payne passed from his earthly home to his Heavenly Father on August 7, 2022. He was born October 10, 1952 to Coy B. Smith and Ila Jay Parris Smith in Fort Payne, Alabama.
He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Linda Thompson Smith; two sons, Nathan Smith (Richard Barrett) and Jason Smith (Dorina) of Birmingham; three grandchildren, Jackson, Quinn, and Harper Smith of Birmingham; sister, Charlotte Smith Ellis (William) of Athens, AL; and brothers, Terry Smith of Centre, AL and Rickey Smith (Connie) of Rainsville, AL.

Randall attended Northeast Community College. He was a draftsman for Kingsberry Homes and then Vulcraft until his retirement. From childhood, he had a responsible nature and a dependable character. He was a diligent worker, always willing to do whatever any job called for. He enjoyed playing guitar, running, golfing, and playing tennis and basketball. Most of all, he loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. His faith in God was strong, and he made it a point to study the Bible faithfully. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

I am very sorry to hear of Randall's passing. I will always cherish our tennis playing days. It's only today that I heard about it. We offer prayers of comfort for the family during this time of sorrow. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Randall. Finished high school together and started at Northeast college together in the fall of 1971. Will remember him as a great class mate, friend and person.

We are heartbroken at this great loss to you all and to our family. Randall had admirable strength of character, quiet humor, kindness, faith and love of family, God and country. Though big and strong he accommodated any request from our shared grandchildren even if it meant donning a mask and cape! He was an extra special “Papa”. He was an extra special person. He will be missed tremendously. Our deep sympathy and love to all of you.
