I miss you Brother but I had to opportunity to see and hear you pray on FB yesterday. Your voice was full of peace and understanding, wisdom and comfort. Your pray for friends with small businesses 3 years ago became a covering for my wife and I as she embarked on her small business journey this year with nothing but blessings and provision for every obstacle. My wife gifted me a necklace and medallion with you and Sheldon's picture on it that I can wear for our Anniversary. It was one of the most thoughtful and kind gifts I have received. I carry you in my heart, my mind and now around my neck as a reminder of a true friend. In the words of one of my favorite TV theme songs, "Thank you for being a Friend!" you are never forgotten Brother.

One morning I was hospitalized and Randal called me around 5:30am and told me he was coming by to visit. I didn't expect him to make it knowing his own personal struggles. I had dozed off and when I woke up he was sitting by my bedside. I had just been given some medication and I was struggling to stay awake and not feeling well. Randy told me he understood I needed some rest and told me he would talk to me later. I got up out the bed to walk him to the door and he hugged me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders and began to pray for me. It was a prayer for my survival. I didn't understand it at first but once he left I began a physical fight for my life. I had the feeling of death come over me and I struggled, prayed and talked to GOD to intervene. I lived to share that story and shortly after I realized that Randy was on a mission that GOD sent him on to pray for my soul and mortality. Later I was able to Thank Randy for his obedience to GOD'S voice and direction and I never forgot Randy's true Love for me as a Brother and Friend. I truly miss my Brother but I'm comforted in his last words to me; "I Love You More." Rest Eternal my Dear Friend and Brother. I Love You Bro

There will only be one Randy Chestnut. I met him via his cousins, Carla and Sharla. Randy and I helped Carla move to Chicago in the early 90’s. During the fridgid, winter 2 - 3 day weekend, we built a strong bond of non-stop laughter, jokes and other things I can’t express. That one weekend started an everlasting friendship for the next 25 plus years.

Randy reached out to me during one of my darkest periods of my life and he said to me, “Big dog, I know you’re going thru a tough time but I know who you are! Keep your head up.”

When I found out that Randy was battling cancer, I too had to check on him. He epitomized faith, courage and strength while he battled the disease.

He fought to the end. He’s now in a better place. He’s laughing, cracking jokes and celebrating.

Randy, thank you for your friendship!

Randy, Randy, Randy.....there's only ONE RANDY! I used to say that to you whenever I saw you. I've known you since we all were kids at church (MSCC). You were the funniest person I ever met and always kept me laughing but was very intelligent. You will truly be missed...RIL Randy. "To be absent from the Body is to be present with the Lord..."

I am so incredibly grateful that Randal and I reconnected after high school. It started at one of the reunions, and turns out he was one of my favorite people on earth. He was so kind, so secure in his faith - and frankly one of the funniest people I knew. I could always count on his comments on Facebook, sarcastically funny, supportive, so many comments on my family and accomplishments- and sometimes just offering up a prayer. I loved reading his daily devotions. I’ll miss him greatly, and I cannot imagine your loss. My deepest sympathies and prayers to you all.
