Jimmy Lee Randall was born on April 8, 1944, to ReverendJimmy Lee and Nora Crawford Randall in Clarksville, Texas. He was known to those closest to him as “Brother.” The son of a minister, he came to know Christ at an early age and united with the Martin Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. 

Jimmy attended Cheatham High School and furthered his education at Texas College in Tyler, Texas. There he joined the brotherhood of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., studiedBusiness Education and earned a bachelor’s degree in 1966. Drafted by the United States Army in 1967, ranked an E4, he served in Korea and in 1973 received an honorable discharge. 

On September 27, 1969, he married the love of his life Mary Ann Aikin; to this union two children were born Keaton and Kevin Randall. Living briefly in Texas, the family relocated to St. Louis, Missouri where Jimmy accepted a position as Budget Analyst for then McDonnell Douglas, a major American aerospace manufacturing corporation and defense contractor, known today as Boeing; during his tenure he obtained a Master of Arts degree at Webster University. Later, Jimmy pursued a career in Insurance until retirement. 

In his younger days, Jimmy would often go dancing and as he called it “cut a rug” with his wife Ann as he loved dancing, listening to sixties music and playing tennis. Recent years wouldfind him home watching westerns, or his favorite baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals.
