Jim was born to Bonnie and Jim Randall, who welcomed him into the world and preceded him in death.

Known for his deep connection to nature, he lived a simple yet fulfilling life.

For the past 11 years, Jim shared his life with his partner, Joann Goss.Together, they found joy and adventure riding his cherished black mare, Sangria, through the scenic hills of Crawford, raising dogs, and especially cherishing his loyal companion, Skid Boot.

Jim was previously married to Jodi Smith, with whom he raised three children who brought him immense pride.

His daughter, Amber Johnson, and her husband, Ben, blessed him with three grandsons— Braden, Zach, and Matthew.

His son, Jeremy Randall, and his wife, Christin, gave him grandchildren Kros, Kreed, and Jocelyn, and he was honored to welcome his first great-granddaughter, Lyla Jane, daughter of Kros.

His daughter, Abby Randall, and her spouse, Josh Hafner, contributed to his legacy with grandchildren Brody, Brynlie, and Briggs Randall.

Jim is survived by his siblings: Tom Randall, Scott Randall, Lori Mai, and Sherri Eigbrett.

An avid outdoorsman, Jim enjoyed trapping, hunting, and the art of taxidermy.

Whether caring for animals, riding horses, or exploring the countryside with Joann, he found solace in nature and shared his passion with those around him.

Above all, Jim loved Joann and his family deeply. His absence will be profoundly felt by all who knew and cherished him.
