Richmond Carl “Richie” Randall III, age 72, of Gulfport, Mississippi, passed away on August 29, 2026, in Gulfport.

He was preceded in death by his father, R.C. Randall, Jr.; his mother, Annie Ruth Rouse Randall; his sister, Libby Randall; and his brother, Ronnie Randall.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 45 years, Cherie Surginer Randall. He is also survived by his daughter, Stephanie Randall Parsons (Nathan); his sisters, Debbie Randall and Pam Randall Gunkel (Andy); as well as his beloved grandchildren, Zoey Parsons and Eliza Parsons.

A native and lifelong resident of Gulfport, Richie graduated from Gulfport East High School in 1971. He continued his education at Perkinston Junior College and the University of Southern Mississippi, where he earned a degree in Radio, Television, and Film with a minor in Political Science.

He dedicated his professional life to serving his community. His career included working with the Harrison County Family Court, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, and the Mississippi Gaming Commission, from which he retired as Director of Enforcement.

Outside of his career, Richie enjoyed reading, history, football, golf, NASCAR, and travel. He was a proud member of the Steeler Nation and a Parrot Head. He was also a champion of multiple fantasy football leagues over the years.

He was an active member of First United Methodist Church of Gulfport, a former member of the Lions Club, and volunteered for Christian Ministry and Feed My Sheep. His generous spirit was evident in his volunteer work with Home Under the Dome, a ministry serving individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and memory loss throughout South Mississippi.

Richie was truly an inspiration. His positive spirit spread joy to so many, and his infectious laugh, wonderful sense of humor, and ability to converse with anyone and everyone will never be forgotten. His memory will forever live in the hearts of those who had the great fortune of knowing him.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Wall, Dr. Gwin, Dr. Cottone, and Dr. Livingston, along with the compassionate team at MD Anderson Hospital, for their exceptional care and support.

Per his request, the funeral ceremonies will be private.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to First United Methodist Church of Gulfport or MD Anderson Hospital of Houston, Tx.
