William Randolph Iii
November 22, 1968 — January 1, 2017
William W. Randolph III, known to all as Randy, was born on November 22, 1968 in Houston and passed unexpectedly from this earth on January 1, 2017.
He spent his younger years in Rosharon with his father and stepmother, Bill and Becky (Meler) Randolph and later moved to Houston to live with his mother, Renee (Wehnes) McKnight.
In the 80's, "Randy Rad" found his true calling and exploded onto the Houston music scene and far beyond, as the lead singer with the rock bands SILK, EASY STREET and NOTHING NICE. With his larger than life stage persona, long blonde hair, good looks and unbelievable vocal talent, he was quite a force to be reckoned with. His passion for music never left him nor did his unmistakable voice.
Randy loved to fish and would spend hours talking about it. His passions were football, WWF, UFC, Pho, muscle cars, cheese dip, venison chili, and the love of his family, friends and fiancée, Anne Marie Carson. She has said, he liked his soup lukewarm, his beer cold, his steak unconscious and his shoes and jewelry in a straight line. Randy was loyal beyond belief, hardworking, loving, had an insatiable appetite for learning, and an infectious laugh. He will truly be loved, missed and remembered forever by the many.
Most recently, he was a top producing salesman for a local meat wholesaler.
Randy was preceded in death by his beloved grandparents Bill & Rose Randolph and Elmer & Enid Wehnes. He is survived by his parents, Bill & Becky Randolph and Renee McKnight; fiancé, AnneMarie Carson; son, Cory Payne of Tennessee; and brother, Charles Wehnes and his family, Melissa Perez, Caleb Perez, and Charlie Randal Wehnes of Carbondale, Illinois.
Private services will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
